“We haven’t been in such a parlous position in the 21 years the PSNI has been in existence.'

The PSNI could be left "on its knees" if up to 1,000 officers are cut from its ranks by 2025, according to the Police Federation of Northern Ireland.

"What we are now seeing is a threat to the everyday ability of the Service to maintain essential services." “The Chief Constable says it will result in what he calls ‘a smaller, less visible, accessible and responsive police service.’

Policing: PSNI officer calls for more ethnic minority representationPSNI officer and NBPAUK president Andy George calls for greater representation of ethnic minorities in policing in Northern Ireland NBPAUK Given ChiefConPSNI has halted recruitment due to financial constraints it's highly unlikely any ethnicity will be represented, nevermind ethnic minorities. NBPAUK Genuine question, what percentage of those applying are from an ethnic minority background? If it's equal to those who are successful then is that not how the system was intended to work? If the applications are low then work needs to be done in encouraging people to apply. NBPAUK Surely it is not a problem for minorities to join the police?
