AL VIA LA FASE FINALE DEL TRASFERIMENTO DEI POTERI DI GIUSTIZIA
Desmond Rea, presidente uscente del Policing Board, ha dichiarato ieri presso la University of Ulster, che tutto è pronto per il trasferimento dei poteri di giustizia a Stormont.
“La strada percorsa è stata a volte difficile, ma il premio è stata la consegna di un servizio di polizia che è ora più rappresentativi della comunità di cui è a servizio, e pienamente responsabile nei suoi confronti. Vi è, ovviamente, sempre più lavoro da fare, e la polizia non si ferma”.
Transfer police powers now: Rea (BBC News Northern Ireland)
Policing in Northern Ireland is ready for the devolution of justice powers to Stormont, the outgoing chair of the Policing Board has said.
Sir Desmond Rea was delivering a lecture at the University of Ulster on Thursday, his last formal engagement before stepping down from the post.
He said Northern Ireland was entering the final phase of the policing change programme.
The process, he said, was in place to facilitate transfer of policing powers.
“Policing is ready for the devolution of policing and justice – as is this board,” he said.
“The road journeyed has at times been difficult, but the prize has been the delivery of a policing service that is now more representative of the community it serves, and fully accountable to it.
“There is, of course, always more work to do, and policing does not stand still.”
Sir Desmond is being replaced by the deputy chair Barry Gilligan.
