Making the Case for Additional Policing Resources
That this Assembly supports the Chief Constable in his campaign to secure additional resources for the PSNI; notes with growing concern the serious pressures facing local and neighbourhood policing, crime investigations and rank and file officers as a result of chronic underfunding; highlights that the Chief Constable and his officers have a statutory responsibility to protect life and property, preserve law and order, and prevent the commission of offences; deplores recent correspondence issued by the Department of Justice criticising the PSNI’s efforts to secure extra funding from the UK Government; shares the Police Federation’s view that this was an attempt to gag, embarrass and chastise the Chief Constable; calls on the Minister of Justice to apologise; and further calls on the Minister to urgently recommit to reversing the decline in police funding and police officer numbers.
