Murphy praises Superintendents' leadership
The leadership shown by members of the Superintendents’ Association of Northern Ireland in delivering change throughout the Police Service has contributed greatly to the implementation of the Patten reforms, Secretary of State Paul Murphy has said.
Speaking at the Superintendents’ Association of Northern Ireland AGM on Wednesday night, Mr Murphy said that the PSNI deserved credit for the willingness to "embrace change and help bring about a new beginning to policing".
He said: “We in Government fully recognise the contribution you as senior management make in the Police Service.
“We recognise the responsibility that is placed on the superintending ranks whether as District Commanders, or as officers commanding major incidents or as managers of resources.”
The Secretary of State also took the opportunity to respond to specific points raised by Association President Stephen Grange and also condemned intimidation and threats against DPP members.
He said: “The men and women who sit on the District Policing Partnership play a central role in the new policing arrangements."
“They deserve our support and there is no room for anyone to attack, threaten or intimidate those involved in delivering more effective policing in Northern Ireland.”
The Superintendents’ Association of Northern Ireland is the staff association that represents interests of the some 100 Superintendents and Chief Superintendents in the PSNI.
This is the first time that the present Secretary of State has addressed the Superintendents’ Association of Northern Ireland.
