I have been informed by the Garda Commissioner that the Crime Prevention Officer position in the Tipperary Division has been vacant since 2010.
I have been informed by the Commissioner that, notwithstanding this, the crime prevention function of An Garda Síochána has not been adversely affected as crime prevention and personal security advice is being provided by appropriate Divisional resources. Where more indepth specialist advices are required, the services of the Divisional Crime Prevention Officer from the neighbouring Waterford Garda Division are utilised.
