Changing Policing in Ireland Report: Garda Inspectorate

9:30 am

Mr. Mark Toland:

We identified six systems in the report, and resource management is one of them. This can be done while waiting for a fancy new piece of technology. When I joined the police it was done on paper. It is more time-consuming but it can still be managed in a different way in the interim. What we are saying is that we should not wait for the technology but should do something now about allocating resources. We should not wait for two or three years to get a wonderful piece of technology. It should be done now as good practice.
