Policing Authority wants urgent investment in Garda IT

Garda IT needs include replacing the antiquated Garda Pulse computer system, developing secure digital radio systems and regional command centres, providing hi-tech mobility devices for gardaí and digitally-integrated garda cars.

The Policing Authority has written to Justice Minister Helen McEntee warning that it is “imperative” that there is urgent investment in Garda technology.

The authority made the intervention following discussions with Garda HQ.
