The report has four chapters that describe policing from the strategic perspective through to operational service delivery, from the organisational level to the local, with each pointing to the way forward. Many previous Inspectorate recommendations are relevant to this inspection, particularly from Resource Allocation (2009), Crime Investigation (2014) and Changing Policing in Ireland (2015). Many of these have not been progressed; others are not yet fully implemented. Where appropriate, they are referenced in the report and a summary of the key high-level recommendations is provided in Appendix 1.
