As I understand it, An Garda Síochána is always very conscious of victims of crime and works very carefully to keep families updated in relation to any investigations. There is strong ongoing co-operation between An Garda Síochána and the Police Service of Northern Ireland, PSNI. The cross-Border joint agency task force was established under a 2015 fresh start agreement to bring a concerted and enhanced effort to tackle cross-jurisdictional crime. The task force is led by senior officers from An Garda Síochána, Revenue, the PSNI, and HM Revenue and Customs. The Criminal Assets Bureau and the National Crime Agency are also involved, as needed, in operational activity. Officers from An Garda Síochána and the PSNI have highlighted the practical value in the continuing excellent level of co-operation and operational activity between the agencies in tackling various types of crime, be it a drug war, financial or the trafficking of human adults or children. There is excellent co-operation between the two police services.
