Report finds failings in Garda handling of 999 calls
REPUBLIC OF IRELAND: An official report has identified numerous failings in An Garda Síochána’s handling of 999 calls. In 2019 and 2020 close to 23,000 calls were made to emergency services and over 3,000 of them related to domestic violence. However, many were cancelled without a proper policing response and the Policing Authority commissioned a report into the issue in July last year.

Had a drug conviction? Join the New Orleans police force
USA: The murder rate in New Orleans is the highest in the land and the man in charge of holding the thin blue line in the Big Easy now has far fewer police officers after years in which hundreds have departed. If Superintendent Shaun Ferguson was managing a police force in the London of Arthur Conan Doyle, or Dorothy L Sayers, now would be the time to send for a gentleman with an independent income and an enthusiastic interest in violent crime. But he may yet preside over a new golden age of civilian policing. Ferguson has announced a plan to recruit dozens of civilians to bolster the police force, putting them to work at the end of phones and at desks monitoring online reports.
