Sir Norman George Bettison, QPM (born 3 January 1956) is a British former police officer and the former Chief Constable of West Yorkshire Police. He resigned[1] in October 2012 amidst controversy about his role in the Hillsborough disaster,[2] in which he was involved in the implementation of a cover-up of police errors.[3] He remained the subject of an Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) investigation, and was charged on the 28 June 2017 with four counts of misconduct in public office. The case was dropped on 21 August 2018. Bettison's own book Hillsborough Untold (2016)[4] contains his version of events.
