Smart policing will help gardaí prevent crime

Gardaí are preparing to crunch crime data as a major tool in helping them deter and catch culprits in the future.

The county’s most senior garda made his comments about “smart policing” as he officially opened the inaugural Cork Garda Crime Prevention Day in City Hall.

Several experts from different fields of security gave presentations to the public through lectures and providing information at stands about how they can better protect themselves and their property.
