PSNI report card: Confidence up but satisfaction down
Levels of confidence in the PSNI among the Catholic and Protestant communities are now almost equal (79% and 80% respectively) but satisfaction in PSNI performance is down, Catholics 49% (down 4%) and Protestants 54% (down 8%).
Fair Deal @ 12:41 PM
FD, so most folks are confident that the PSNI are a waste of space; if you want action just sent for your local paramilitary ‘civic police’ ;)
Posted by on Dec 20, 2006 @ 12:48 PMSadly we cant compare figures with the ‘civic police’ because they dont keep statistics, dont have a supervisory board, aren’t subject to the law, don’t have an ombudsman ...
Posted by on Dec 20, 2006 @ 12:59 PMDoes this mean that the other parties will now also refuse to recognise the police?

Posted by on Dec 20, 2006 @ 02:40 PMI wonder if the senior PSNI officer who gave the order to force a lorry full of smuggled petrol into a heavily built up area during a chase on the M1 a few weeks ago (and then) order officers to open fire on the vehicle in a heavy populated street might have something to do with the poor performance rating ??

This does NOT mean that 79% of RCs are happy with the police. Having “some” confidence (50% of catholics) could mean almost anything. I have some confidence in the police but I’m not happy with them.
