This Assessment of Policing Performance 2022 (the report) is the Policing Authority’s evaluation of the Garda Síochána’s performance over the first half of 2022. Performance is assessed primarily but not exclusively against the performance framework (as described in Section 2).

It is the latest in a series of bi-annual reports assessing Garda Síochána performance. These reports are provided to the Minister for Justice, the Garda Commissioner, and other stakeholders, and made publicly available through the Authority’s website. The reports are important in providing transparency about policing performance, the oversight of policing, and the outcomes of that work.
