A. Chapter SummaryBackgroundThe Independent Commission was asked to make proposals concerning the scope for structuredcooperation with An Garda Siochanna and other police forces. The Independent Commission’sdiscussion in this area recognised the excellent operational cooperation between the (then) RoyalUlster Constabulary and other police agencies around the world. However, it noted thatcooperation could be improved. The Independent Commission also noted that the globalisation ofcrime required police services around the world to collaborate with each other more effectively,and that the exchanges of best practices and other cooperative measures between police serviceswould ultimately increase the effectiveness of domestic policing.This imperative has not changed from the 1999 analysis of the Independent Commission, indeedglobal policing cooperation and networks are more prevalent today since the increased threat ofglobal crime and terrorism. The need for structured cooperation is therefore greater today thanin 1999.Progress and AccomplishmentsThere continues to be good international policing cooperation by the Police Service, focused bothon a north/south basis between the Garda Siochanna and the Police Service of Northern Ireland,and between the Police Service and other UK and police services internationally. An intergovernmentalagreement was signed by the British and Irish governments in April of 2002, allowingformal cooperation. Primary legislation followed, in Northern Ireland in 2003 and in the Republicof Ireland in 2004, allowing protocols of operation and personnel exchanges between the twopolice services. Although there have not been long term specialist personnel exchanges, shorttermexchanges in the training area do regularly occur. Some shorter-term exchanges have alsooccurred in specialised areas. Annual conferences followed the formal agreements and have nowevolved into structured topic meetings (e.g. organised crime). One border area joint disasterplanning exercise was conducted, and this has been followed by a November of 2006 table topexercise concerning a border area train derailment.Remaining Areas of Concern196The recommendations of the Independent Commission surrounding this chapter are not so muchan area of direct concern, as they are a reminder. In 1999 the Independent Commissionrecognised that the (then) Royal Ulster Constabulary was well known and respectedinternationally for its skills and experience in the security and public order domains. TheIndependent Commission felt however that they would need to do more as a new Police Servicethat would be increasingly focused on policing with the community efforts and dealing with‘ordinary crime’. The Police Service has accomplished a great deal with enhanced north/southpartnerships and agreements and protocols in both training and operations. They have establishedand sustained training links with the UK, the Republic of Ireland and other countries. More can bedone on exchanges and secondments, for the simple strategic reason that the next generation ofpolice officers requires development and experience in the increasingly global policing networks.
cooperation with other police servicesFuture Issues and DirectionsFollowing from the preceding comments, Northern Ireland will not be immune from theincreasingly sophisticated international organised crime, nor international terrorist activities, andhaving a cadre of police officers and civilian staff familiar with working and cooperating in aninternational venue will be important. The Policing Board should ensure such a culture is nurturedand supported.B. Recommendation SummaryRecommendations 157:Written Protocols with Garda Siochana (Cooperation)Patten Recommendation:157. The Northern Ireland police and the Garda Siochana should have written protocols coveringkey aspects of cooperation.Lead Responsibility: British and Irish Governments/Chief Constable/Garda CommissionerRecommendation StatusCompliance with this recommendation has been achieved.HistoryAn inter-governmental agreement was signed by the British and Irish governments in April of2002. This generated a need for primary legislation in each jurisdiction. Primary legislation was inplace for Northern Ireland in May of 2003 and in the Republic of Ireland by September of 2004.Various protocols of operation and personnel exchanges between the two police services nowexist. Actual police officer exchanges are now occurring for short-term opportunities.Recommendations 158:Annual PSNI/Garda Siochana ConferencePatten Recommendation:158. The present pattern of meetings between the police services in Northern Ireland and theRepublic should be enhanced by an annual conference, designed to drive forward cooperationin areas of common concern.Lead Responsibility:British and Irish Governments/Chief Constable/Garda CommissionerRecommendation StatusCompliance with this recommendation has been achieved.HistoryThis is now a regularised event which has evolved in format, moving from an annual conference toplanned themed meetings. The first conference was held at the Garda training college inTemplemore in April of 2002, and the second in Templepatrick. The conferences were an effectivemedium for exchanges of information and the identification of common policing strategies. The197
