Mr. Tim Galvin:

I am on the national project board for training within the organisation. I have had no CPD training since 2009, nor has any member on the front line, bar someone in a specialised unit doing specific training in firearms, investigations, interviews and so on. They get training at the moment because a budget has been set aside for it but that is not the case for day-to-day training. In the past five years probably 250 tranches of legislation have been introduced that impact on our daily work but we have had no training in any of it. It is put on our portal system and we are told to read it. That is the training we get.
