Background: The Garda Operating Model was introduced as part of A Policing Service for the Future, which is the implementation plan based on the report of the Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland. This model is recommended by the both the Commission of the Future of Policing in Ireland and the Garda Inspectorate. The restructure reflects international best practice as well as the realities of modern day policing in Ireland, the changing nature of crime and population trends. It included restructuring at National, Regional and local levels to provide a greater focus on community policed based on local needs. The new model introduces major changes to the structures of An Garda Síochána by providing a wider range of policing services for people in their local area. It will particularly enhance the investigation of crime through the delivery of a greater range of specialised services in local areas, such as the investigation of sexual crime, domestic violence, cyber-crime, and economic crime. |
