Ron Hogg (born 1 October 1951) is a British politician and former police officer. He is the Labour Durham Police and Crime Commissioner. He is the first person to hold the post and was elected on 15 November 2012 and re-elected on 6 May 2016.
Hogg served for over 30 years as a police officer. During the 2002 FIFA World Cup, he led the English police unit fighting football hooliganism in the host countries, Japan and South Korea.
As a chief officer, he served as the Assistant Chief Constable of Durham Constabulary with responsibility for operational matters and then, from 2003, as the Deputy Chief Constable of Cleveland Police. He retired from the police in 2008.
Throughout his career he served in four different Forces. He began his service with Northumbria Police, working the East End of Newcastle between 1978-81. He then transferred to Northamptonshire Police, where he served until 1992 and progressed to the rank of Chief Inspector.
Promotion to Superintendent in 1992 saw a return to Northumbria Police. This spell included working as the Area Commander in Sunderland West, and two years working with the HMIC, inspecting Forces such as the MPS and West Midlands.
Promotion to ACC with Durham Constabulary came in 1998, and during this period he led a successful reorganisation of that Force.
His career concluded in 2008, where he retired having served five years as Deputy Chief Constable with Cleveland Police.
As a schoolteacher between 1973–78, he was an active member of the NAS (later NAS/UWT) teachers' union. He served as Branch President for 18 months during this period.
Upon joining the Police Service all political activity ceased due to the obvious conflict of interest.
On 15 November 2012, following the 2012 election, he was elected the police and crime commissioner for Durham Constabulary. He was one of 13 Labour Party commissioners elected in the inaugural elections.
