The Policing and Community Safety Authority (PCSA) is the new oversight body for An Garda Síochána. The PCSA sets the Policing Priorities and these establish what we want the Gardaí to give the most attention and resources to, in order to deliver an effective policing service for you and to make people feel safe in their communities.  

As you will be aware from our invitation to attend an in-person consultation, the PCSA is currently reaching out to people and communities across Ireland to hear their views on what the Policing Priorities should be for An Garda Síochána for 2026-2028. As part of this consultation, we have launched an online consultation tool that allows you to spend ‘points’ on the areas of policing that you consider a priority. It will take about 10 minutes to complete, and there is a short, optional survey at the end.

We want you to have your say by completing the Public Consultation and letting us know what areas of policing and community safety are most important to you.

We want to reach as diverse an audience as possible with this Public Consultation, and we would very much appreciate your help. We hope that you will share the consultation with your networks, through your social media, newsletter or other channels. Anyone over the age of 16 years old can have their say. The online consultation will be open until 08 June 2025. Please feel free to tag us on socials or use the hashtags #PCSA #PolicingPriorities #HaveYourSay
