Police Fail To Meet 50% Of Performance Targets
Police did not meet more than half of their performance targets last year, according to a report from the Audit Office.
Overall, the PSNI achieved 48% of measures with the remaining 52% not achieved.
Auditor General Kieran Donnelly said there is still room for further improvement.
He said: "A reduction number of targets would help to ensure that efforts are clearly focused on improving performance in line with strategic priorities."
The 2015-16 Plan comprises 11 outcomes, with 16 associated performance indicators and a further 41 associated performance measures.
