Call for body to implement policing findings

The Policing Commission will be recommending to the Government that a body be established to implement its findings, the chair of the expert body has said.

Kathleen O’Toole said the Independent Commission on Policing in Northern Ireland (Patten Commission) had pressed for this measure and that its creation was key to setting up the PSNI.

Ms Toole sat on the Patten Commission and said she and the rest of the members of the Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland were determined their report would not “just gather dust”.
