Mackey joined Wiltshire Constabulary in 1984. In 2001, he transferred to Gloucestershire Constabulary to become its Assistant Chief Constable - he later went on to be its Deputy Chief Constable.
In September 2007, Mackey joined Cumbria Constabulary as its Chief Constable, a post he remained in until his appointment as the Metropolitan Police Deputy Commissioner in 2012. Mackey served as the Acting Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police between 22 February and 10 April 2017.
On 22 March 2017, Mackey was on a routine visit to Westminister. He was there during the 2017 Westminster attack and is described as a "significant witness". Because of this he recused himself from issuing any public statements despite his position as acting head of the Metropolitan Police.
