Gardaí are to introduce new text messaging schemes in Drogheda by the end of the year to enable people to send police reports of criminality and antisocial behaviour and allow garda units to issue alerts to the public.
It is one of a series of promised measures in a Government implementation plan on foot of a special report into the needs of Drogheda, published last March.
