Garda protective services unit to be launched in North Cork

Officers specially trained to investigate sensitive crimes

A new divisional protective services unit (PSU) for the Cork North Garda Division will be launched in Fermoy on Tuesday.

Specially trained officers assigned to such units investigate some of the most sensitive and disturbing crimes types, including sexual crime, human trafficking, child abuse and domestic abuse. 

PSUs were introduced in four garda divisions in 2017.
