Peter Ewen Brodie OBE QPM (6 May 1914 – 7 September 1989) was a British police officer.
He joined the Metropolitan Police in London in 1934, serving as a uniformed officer and later in the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
He was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 1954 Birthday Honours.
[4][5] Brodie returned to the Metropolitan Police in April 1966 as Assistant Commissioner "C", in charge of the Criminal Investigation Department.
Regarded as a tough "hard-liner", he took early retirement in 1972 two years before reaching his sixtieth birthday and the day before the more liberal Robert Mark took over as Commissioner.
