82% Believe Police Treat Catholics And Protestants Equally
A total of 82% believe that the police treat Catholics and Protestants equally, according to a new survey.
The Northern Ireland Crime Survey quarterly update showed that 75% of those surveyed think the police do a very, or fairly good job.
Justice Minister David Ford welcomed the new report.
Mr Ford said: "Police accountability arrangements are important and 81% believe that the Policing Board helps ensure the police do a good job. The important role of the Police Ombudsman is highlighted, with almost 86% believing he is independent of police and 86% agreeing that the Ombudsman helps the police do a good job.
"Overall, I welcome this report and am confident that the important work the Chief Constable and his officers do on the ground in every community to help keep people safe contributes to these high results."
