ACPO President Sir Hugh Orde comments on retirement of Sir Norman Bettison

“At the national level he has made an outstanding contribution to the work of the police service as a whole in cutting crime and keeping the public safe. He has lead in a number of national areas such as the development of neighbourhood policing and the police approach to preventing terrorism and violent extremism.
“His depth of knowledge and experience is highly regarded within the service and he will be a great loss to policing.”
