Garda vision for reserve 'unclear', says Policing Authority

The Garda Reserve Strategy 2021-2025 promises a revamp of the body.

The Policing Authority has said it “remains unclear” as to what vision Garda HQ has for the Garda Reserve, following the publication of a long-awaited Garda strategy for the part-time body.

The authority has revealed that there are only 200 “active” members in the reserve, which has a supposed strength of 447.
