The new Operational Policing Model is a disaster, and there's the proof. Centralisation of resources due to lack of members being trumpeted as modernisation and reform. Going backwards. 3 County model a dismal failure.

Refreshing indeed. Leadership, empathy, and support. A small bit of solace for those frontline members to know that they are understood and supported at the top.

Serious questions need to be answered by all those who put frontline members of AGS in the firing line in this botched operation. This programme highlights the serious planning deficiencies that occurred during and after it. Disgraceful and unacceptable.

"Policing has got to be braver” around releasing Body-worn video to the public to show the reality of what officers confront, His Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Constabulary has said. facebook.com/thames.federat…

Great to see victims supporting this welcome move. The Chief Constable said he would be put “victims first” in the new Policing Plan & also promised to get back to proper policing. He has put his money where his mouth is, now the politicians need to help sort a proper budget.

So let's get this right. An "expert recruitment group" has been employed to tell Senior Garda Management what the problems are with recruitment. Surely, it's management's brief to know this and suggest remedies without sub contracting out their job. Wonder what it cost?

So, a week beforehand, Gda management was concerned that Gardai didn't have the resources for the planned operation, which the contractor was "adamant" was going ahead. So, there was loads of time to properly plan for this in advance and have the public order unit in place.

Today the #PoliceFamily from across the UK comes together in Glasgow to remember almost 5,000 police officers who have died on duty. Our Chair David Threadgold explains the significance of the day and the upcoming Service of Remembrance. #NPMD24

Rare that a single, isolated platoon would acquire such strategic significance. Rarer still to win a standoff with a squadron of main battle tanks. Respect to Callsign 6-52 for standing their ground & holding the Thin Blue Line. 126 Infantry Battalion UNIFIL UNIFIL Óglaigh na hÉireann

This is a common view of modern-day frontline Gardaí. This same view takes up a considerable bulk of members' time. Time that could be elsewhere spent. Meeting the demands of the new Op model. Great idea if we've the numbers, but guess what----we don't!!! #Gardaí #Opmodel

Each and every day that the frontline members put on their uniform and PPE, they risk their lives for the protection of others. Wishing this brave officer a speedy recovery from the physical and psychological injuries.
