THE Fermanagh Herald caught up with PSNI Chief Inspector Roy Robinson on the week he retired from policing after 42 and a half years.
In a long and distinguished career, Roy has witnessed changes in policing work, the police force and local society as a whole.
The most affable man in policing has also navigated these changes while managing his own personal challenges including three cancer diagnoses, a heart attack and a quadruple heart bypass.

He also survived three motorbike accidents as a teenager and, in 1979, the young RUC officer narrowly avoided death when he unwittingly shook a car ferom side to side that contained a 250-300 lb bomb inside it!
