"The changes coming into effect will enable us to provide a more responsive, efficient, and improved service to local communities across County Cork. This will help provide enhanced investigations into crimes against vulnerable groups, including sexual crimes, and community policing teams dedicated to identifying and addressing local issues. Today’s announcements highlight the progress we've made and plan to continue in the coming months as we continue implementation of the Garda Operating Model.”
