Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 22 April 2009
98 Deputy Jack Wall asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he has received from the Garda Commissioner the report of the working group developing proposals for a comprehensive model of rural and urban community policing; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14274/09]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Commissioner recently launched a new National Model of Community Policing for An Garda Síochána. This new model will build on the success of existing good community policing practice and I look forward to the implementation of this plan. A National Community Policing Office will be established within Garda Community Relations Section and it is intended that every District Officer throughout the country will take ownership of community policing within their area of responsibility.
A copy of the Garda National Model of Community Policing can be found on the Garda Website at www.garda.ie.
