I am informed by the Garda authorities that the number of Gardaí and Sergeants at the end of 1997, 2002, 2007 and 31 October 2009 is as set out in the following table.

SergeantGarda
19971,8448,642
20021,9289,442
20072,08311,090
2009 (31/10/09)2,13111,943

For security and operational reasons, it is Garda policy not to disclose the number of Gardaí assigned to certain areas within An Garda Síochána.
