Public Accounts Committee

2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána

9:30 am

Mr. Drew Harris:

It is important. Internally, we refer to ourselves as a policing service. The new Bill will also refer to us as Ireland's policing service. We are anxious for that because we are moving more and more towards becoming an organisation that is human rights-compliant and victim-focused. We want to use technology to its best advantage but we want to keep that ethos of community policing. That is all part of providing a policing service as opposed to being a force of gardaí.
