Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 June 2006
55 Ms McManus asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the number of community Gardaí currently deployed; the location of these community Gardaí; if there is a set minimum period for community Gardaí to establish themselves in an area; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22133/06]
View answerI have been informed by the Garda authorities, who are responsible for the detailed allocation of resources, including personnel, that the personnel strength (all ranks) of An Garda Síochána as at 6th June 2006 was 12,375. This compares with a total strength of 10,702 (all ranks) as at 30 June 1997 and represents an increase of 1,673 (or 16%) in the personnel strength of the Force during that period. I am pleased to advise the Deputy that the serving strength of the Force is to receive a significant additional boost with the attestation of approximately 275 new members today.
I am further informed that the numbers and locations of gardaí allocated to Community Policing Duties as at the 31st March 2006 was as set out in the table:
