Review recommends transformation of policing in south Armagh

PSNI Superintendent Norman Haslett, Chief Constable Simon Byrne and Chief Inspector Fin Dornan issue the report at the Killeavy Castle Hotel, Newry (PA)

The closure of a highly fortified police station and a proposal to relocate memorials to fallen officers are among recommendations in a report to transform policing in south Armagh.

Nationalist politicians welcomed the report which followed a detailed review of how the PSNI operate in the area, while the Police Federation expressed concern and called for the safety of officers to be prioritised.
