This year marks the 100th anniversary of the creation of the Royal Ulster Constabulary, in June 1922. In 1999 Her Majesty the Queen collectively awarded the George Cross to the men, women and families of RUC officers. Between 1969 and 1998, over 300 officers were murdered by terrorists and many thousands more carry the physical and mental scars of that brutal period of British history.

In this episode, I have a fascinating conversation with Stephen White, formerly an Assistant Chief Constable in the RUC and now the Chair of the RUC George Cross Foundation.
