Sir Hugh Orde
As police forces face significant cuts in their budgets, Gerry Northam profiles Sir Hugh Orde, president of the Association of Chief Police Officers.
He is the straight talking, marathon running public face of the police service. Sir Hugh Orde - president of the Association of Chief Police Officers - has warned budget cuts announced by the government could mean less officers on the beat. It's another crisis for the senior officer who has taken charge of some of the UK's most politically sensitive beats. From tackling black on black gun crime in London to running the Police Service of Northern Ireland, close colleagues reveal the inside track on some of the major moments in his career and how he has learned to deal with conflict. Labelled the king of the one liners, we hear something of the private man and how even a major criminal investigation did not stand in the way of him running one of his beloved marathons
