An Entity of Type: military person, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Superintendent John May (1775–1855) was the first commander of the Metropolitan Police "A" Division, which policed the Whitehall area of London. Since the divisional station house was adjacent to the offices of the Joint Commissioners, Charles Rowan and Richard Mayne, May began to serve as unofficial second-in-command of the force, providing a link between the Commissioners and their men. It was he who interviewed the first candidates for the force, sifting them before Rowan and Mayne made their final selection. Before joining the police, May was a sergeant major in the Grenadier Guards.
