The detailed deployment of garda personnel and resources to individual areas is a matter for the Garda authorities who have informed me that the current personnel strength of Castlepollard Garda station as of 18 May 1999, is one sergeant and two gardaí. I am also informed that this number of personnel has remained unchanged for the last six years.
I am further informed that Castlepollard garda station is open to the public from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Monday to Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sundays. Outside these hours the sub-district is policed by the district patrol car from Granard station and the divisional traffic corps. There is also one official vehicle, a vanette, allocated to Castlepollard. This vehicle is also utilised by the Multyfarnham sub district.
There is one neighbourhood watch scheme in operation in Castlepollard and one community alert scheme in the sub-district.
