'The message we delivered today is a bleak one. Inevitably with less police there will be less policing'
The PSNI is “going to shrink over the next three years” with its ability to tackle crime “reduced”, the Chief Constable has warned today.
He added: “Today, Thursday 26th January, Chief Operating Officer Pamela McCreedy and Deputy Chief Constable Mark Hamilton updated the Policing Board on our response to the profoundly challenging budgetary situation facing the Police Service. At the same time I briefed officers and staff. “This reduction comes at a time when our population is growing, when workloads are increasing, becoming more complex and crime is rising. Police are already making difficult choices every day to minimise the risk to the public and to reduce the harm these reductions pose.
*Our capacity to investigate crime may be reduced and slowed. Fewer officers investigating a rising number of crimes may mean slower investigations and in some cases a less satisfactory service to victims; The Chief Constable added: ““While there will be no redundancies, all parts of the Police Service are going to see significant change in the coming months as we restructure to minimise the risk to service delivery in priority areas. Working alongside our Staff Associations and Trade Unions the Service Executive Team will do all we can to support officers and staff in the coming months. Officer and staff welfare and wellbeing will remain a priority.
