Following Brexit a hard border would put officers in the ‘firing line’
Head of the Northern Ireland Police Federation Mark Lindsay said physical border posts would make officers easy targets for terrorists and harm police/community relations.
“By definition, hard Brexit is physical barriers or boundaries,” said Mr Lindsay. :No matter who is resourcing them, whether Customs and Excise, the Border Agency, there’s always going to be some element of security threat around it given the nature of the areas that we will see those put up in.
