Police Ombudsman Office increase staff
The Police Ombudsman’s Office has increased its investigation staff to bring the number of people working on its complaints and investigations to more than 70.
The Office announced the news as it released its Corporate Plan for the year ahead. The Plan is the first such document from the organisation, which was formed in November last year.
The Police Ombudsman, Nuala O’Loan, says the number of people turning to her Office for help is far greater than had been envisaged when the new complaints system was being established.
She said: “The Office was planned on the basis of a business case representing the handling of approximately 3000 cases per year but already we have nearly passed that figure.
“Based on our current rate of work we may end up dealing with nearer 3,750 cases in our first year of operation and it is important that we have the resources in place to deliver the service people are asking of us.” (CD)
