Policing Resources - Amendment 1
Leave out all after ‘fall’ and insert: ‘following the Chief Constable’s workforce Recovery Plan endorsed by the Minister of Justice and the Executive; expresses concern that the agreed funding to increase the PSNI headcount to 7,000 officers has not been made available, resulting in the PSNI being dangerously understaffed at around 6,100 officers and an available deployable workforce sitting at just over 4,500 officers; and calls on the Minister of Justice to outline how she intends to address this crisis in Northern Ireland policing, to provide an immediate update on the viability of the workforce Recovery Plan targets and what measures she will take to ensure the PSNI reflects the society it serves, including the recruitment of officers from ethnic minority communities.’
