I saw an ideal model when I researched this in Los Angles – a three-pronged reserve, which is an option we should consider. In level one, there would be members of the public who would have no law enforcing powers but who would assist in the routine duties such as those I outlined earlier. Level two would have persons with restricted powers working under the direct supervision of a law enforcement officer. In level three, to which one would graduate, there would be persons with full police powers. This concept is tried and tested around the world and merits serious consideration and analysis here in Ireland. I hope that the Minister will take some of these views on board and at least look at this opportunity.
