A new Community Policing unit is now in place covering East Clare and North Tipperary.
This new unit comprises seven Gardaí who will be stationed at Killaloe, Newport, Nenagh, and Roscrea Garda Stations to ensure what An Garda Siochana calls “a consistent and accessible Garda presence throughout the Area.”
Members of the Community Policing Unit will work a structured roster to maximize visibility and engagement opportunities with the public, attending community meetings and maintaining a proactive presence in local schools. Key objectives for the Community Policing Unit include addressing crime and anti-social behaviour. Targeted enforcement, as well as focused crime prevention and reduction strategies are part of the units work to support a safer and more secure environment for all residents.
Chief Superintendent Aileen Magner, the senior Garda officer in the Clare Tipperary division is welcoming the new unit which has now been operational since September 2nd amid ongoing concerns about the lack of a visible police presence.
