Police Service of Northern Ireland The Police Service of Northern Ireland (Irish: Seirbhís Póilíneachta Thuaisceart Éireann,[3] Ulster Scots: Polis Servis o Norlin Airlan)[4] is the police force that serves Northern Ireland. It is the successor of the defunct Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) which,[5] in turn, was the successor to the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) in Northern Ireland. All major political parties in Northern Ireland now support the PSNI. At first Sinn Féin, which represents about a quarter of Northern Ireland voters, refused to endorse the PSNI until the Patten Commission's recommendations were implemented in full. Organisation[edit] The senior officer in charge of the PSNI is its Chief Constable. Each district is headed by a Chief Superintendent. In 2001 the old police divisions and sub-divisions were replaced with 29 District Command Units (DCUs), broadly coterminous with local council areas. Jurisdiction[edit] Cooperation with Garda Síochána[edit] Education[edit] Accountability[edit] Recruitment[edit]

2014-10-13 - (University of Liverpool) Funding to support research links with police forces The N8 Research Policing Partnership, which the University of Liverpool is part of, has been awarded £50,000 by the College of Policing to further links between researchers and police forces. The funding will create a regional network for evidence-based policing to test police methods and techniques for tackling crime, and to help the police service to become more efficient. The N8 Research Policing Partnership will work with police officers to build their knowledge of evidence-based research and give them opportunities to start research in their own area of expertise which can then be shared with colleagues in forces across the country. Based at the University of Leeds, the partnership includes academics from universities across the north of England including the Universities of Durham, Lancaster, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Sheffield and York.
