Detective who survived terrorist attack retires from PSNI A detective in Northern Ireland who survived a terrorist attack has retired from police.
Detective Inspector John Caldwell was shot several times by dissident republicans in Co Tyrone in 2023.
Earlier this year, he was presented with the King’s Police Medal for distinguished services in the police service by the Princess Royal at Buckingham Palace.
The PSNI said Mr Caldwell retired on medical grounds earlier this month.
“John was the subject of a cowardly and murderous attack in 2023, and we thank him for his bravery, commitment and service to the public,” he said.
