Cross Border Policing Strategy Welcomed
Monday, 13 December, 2010
The Acting Chair of the Northern Ireland Policing Board has welcomed the formal signing of the Cross Border Policing Strategy between PSNI and An Garda Síochána, Brian Rea said:
“The working relationship between the two policing services is excellent and today’s formal agreement simply underlines the co-operation that exists and provides a framework for strengthening relations further.
At the heart of these arrangements is keeping the public safe and improving the policing services provided. This work has been built on over a number of years and in recent times we have seen the operational benefits of this cooperation in dealing with the dissident threat, organised crime gangs, roads policing initiatives and the management of sex offenders. As a Board we fully support this work and the benefits this delivers to policing and the community.”
