It's a career that took a fresh faced 17-year-old cadet with Thames Valley Police in 1975 to the country's elite anti-terrorism branch.
Along the way he has protected the royals and senior MPs, and worked on the drugs squad.
Now 52-year-old Detective Constable Harinder Singh Sangha is hanging up his truncheon after 35 years service.
"I have had a fantastic career. There's been a few lows. But lots of highs," he said.
It's rare for anti-terrorist officers to give interviews. But Asian colleagues and the Metropolitan Police Sikh Association (MPSA) encouraged Det Cons Sangha to go public because of his ground-breaking career.
"He has been the first in many things and is a good role model," said Det Sgt Gurpal Virdi of the MPSA.
