Hugh Orde, a Metropolitan deputy police commissioner, was appointed Northern Ireland's chief constable at the end of May. Orde, who joined the Metropolitan police in 1977, was involved in piloting stop and search methods before taking charge of community and race relations and running Operation Trident, an investigation into gun crime in London's black communities. The new commissioner has frequently been to Northern Ireland since taking charge of day-to-day running the controversial Stevens inquiry into the loyalist murder of civil liberties lawyer, Pat Finucane, which was facilitated by British security forces and Special Branch.
