Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Future Direction of An Garda Síochána: Garda Commissioner

9:00 am

Mr. Drew Harris:

One is around communication within the organisation so that all of us, in effect, are lined up with the mission and all pointing in the one direction. If we get the communication of our vision clear in the organisation and how we will deliver that as a policing service, given that a lot of decision-making rises up through the organisation of An Garda Síochána, I can expect the members to exercise a good deal more autonomy in what to do because they have an understanding of what is required of them and they can make their own decisions. Then one starts to reap the benefits of fast-time decisions being made with innovation and energy, and that is where we want to get to.
