Stephen White is former commanding officer of the Royal Ulster Constabulary (police force at the time) during some of Northern Ireland’s most violent and volatile years.
Stephen tells us about his early years growing up in an environment where sectarian tension and violence was a constant. Stephen spent time in the Ulster Defense Regiment before he joined the RUC.
I asked Stephen about the daily reality of policing Northern Ireland’s streets during some of its most tumultuous years, thoughts on Irish reunification, facing rioters after Bobby Sand’s death, accusations of collusion, death threats and much more
