NSW: English cop's angry letter to Commissioner Peter Ryan

SYDNEY, Aug 14 AAP - Ken Seddon, the English policeman hand-picked by Commissioner
Peter Ryan to help reform the NSW Police Service, reportedly has written an angry letter
to his former friend.

The Daily Telegraph today says Mr Seddon, who now lives in a tent with his family in
England, has blasted Mr Ryan as a prat with an inflated ego.

In the letter, which is due to be delivered to Mr Ryan this week, Mr Seddon accuses
the commissioner of being out of his depth running the state's police service, the paper
says.

Mr Seddon headed the NSW police reform unit during a two-year secondment before enduring
a 12-month public battle with the Commissioner after being removed from his post.
