Garda Public Attitudes Survey: 36% believe the organisation is 'well managed'

There was a significant fall in the satisfaction rate among victims in gardaí who reported their crimes, from 64% to 50%.

The bulk of people find gardaí friendly and helpful, but most people do not believe the organisation is being well managed, writes Cormac O'Keeffe, Security Correspondent.

The latest Garda Public Attitudes Survey found a 5% increase (to 55%) in the number of people who believe gardaí are “effective in tackling crime” and a 1% increase in the number of people who believe the force is “community focused” (to 63%) and “modern and progressive” (58%).
