as retiring Chief Constable Richard Brunstrom looks back on his career in North Wales - while here we take the opportunity to reflect on all those headlines he has grabbed.
The chief admits to alienating people with some of his policies. But he does not apologise, saying his job has been to make tough decisions - dealing with life and death situations.
"It's impossible to please everyone all of the time," he tells Ö÷²¥´óÐã Wales's Bethan Williams.
However, he does have regrets over the times he "became the story".
Just look at the headlines he has grabbed in this blog [20+] as well as all [80+] that have been written about him, his views and policies in the national press:

- The Sun, 26 June 2009
- Times Online, 15 May 2009

One thing's for sure, it's certainly going to be a lot quieter around here without him.
