Cressida Dick today said a new task force of 120 officers would target the most violent gang member to remove them from London streets 'for any crime'.
The police chief made reference to the notorious 1920's Chicago-gangster - who was finally foiled on tax evasion, after evading numerous murder charges - as an example of how potential violent criminals would be brought down.
The Met Commissioner spoke out after two more murders in London, bringing the total in the capital this year to 55.
It came after an 18-year-old man was killed in Hackney, after stumbling towards police officers with knife wounds.
While in neighboring Clapton, a man in his fifties died after being punched in a row at a betting shop.
Ms Dick said the Violent Crime Task Force would target the most violent individuals in crime 'hotspots'.
Speaking to the Evening Standard, she said: 'We will put even more effort into bearing down on violent crime.
'You will see us being even more pro-active out on the streets. We will have a greater presence in the hotspots of violence and a focused effort, including intelligence-led stop-and-search and the use of specialists in covert tactics.
