The Commission on the Future of Policing published its report today. Professor Donncha O’Connell of the School of Law was a member of the Commission (appointed by the Government last year).
The Commission proposes sweeping reform of policing in Ireland and in particular:
- A new approach to policing and community safety, which will ensure police are more visible in communities, and can focus on preventing harm;
- Measures to deliver a professional, ethical, modern and effective police service that is well-managed, cost-effective, properly trained and equipped;
- A new coherent framework for the independent oversight of policing and community safety, with a clear mandate for effective scrutiny, which will promote professional standards of policing and ensure fully independent investigation of complaints;
- A new framework for national security, headed by a National Security Coordinator, to pool intelligence and information and provide long-term threat assessments.
