Gardaí reveal plan for policy on sex crime investigation
The policy replaces a number of older directives, including PULSE recording procedures when Health Service Executive intervention is required for children. The Sexual Crime Management Unit will also assume responsibility for the investigation of clerical child sex abuse.
The unit, which will operate within the Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Investigation Unit, will also conduct evaluations of a number of sexual crime investigations each year to ensure the quality of investigations is satisfactory.
