Stephen Sackur talks to Sir Hugh Orde, President of the Association of Chief Police Officers. Britain's new coalition government has promised radical reform of the police, including the introduction of directly elected police commissioners. Sir Hugh Orde thinks it is a bad idea and has warned it will lead to police chiefs resigning. If he is so opposed to one of the central policing ideas of the new government, can he stay in his job?
