Policing Matters: An Garda Síochána

Mr. Drew Harris:

We have already subjected the recruitment process to a thorough examination and I am pleased to say those who applied in February of this year were in yesterday's intake to the college. This is a fast turnaround, given the steps they must go through, which include vetting, a medical, a competency test for their physical capability, drugs testing, and interviews and role play assessment.

It is an extensive process for selecting individuals but we have a quick turnaround between February and June to see the first of those in. That will follow through in the August intake, which is only 11 weeks away.
