"Former Detective Chief Inspector Clive Driscoll is most famous for being the man who finally secured convictions for the murder of Stephen Lawrence, a case previously mired by claims of institutional racism and corruption. For Clive, it was the pinnacle of a 35 year career with the world's most famous police force, the Metropolitan Police Service. Like his fictional hero Sherlock Holmes, Clive made his reputation solving the unsolvable and his prodigious rise through the ranks of the Met saw him put in charge of Scotland Yard's policy for sexual offences, domestic violence, child protection and the paedophile unit before heading up the Racial and Violent Crime Task Force tackling their backlist of cold cases. Football hooligans, murder cover ups, honour killings, child abuse and sieges, Clive has seen it all in his time. But whatever the case the most important thing for Clive was always the welfare of the victims and their families, and that their cases were handled with the utmost diligence and sensitivity.
