Complaining About The PSNI / An Garda Siochana

Bad police shouldn't be a problem for escorts in Ireland. However, in reality, they sometimes are. If you are an escort in Ireland who has had or is having problems with a police officer / police officers in Ireland and are considering complaining, read on: Northern Ireland has a fully independent police complaints service known as the Police Ombudsman of Northern Ireland. If your problem relates to the PSNI (Police Service of Northern Ireland), visit www.policeombudsman.org. You can also call the Police Ombudsman of Northern Ireland on 0845 6012931 or 0289 0828600. Do visit the Police Ombudsman of Northern Ireland website before doing anything if you can though. Even in the best of circumstances, making a complaint about police is not usually an easy thing to do, especially for an escort sometimes, and the Police Ombudsman of Northern Ireland website is informative. After reading through it, you should at least understand better what the Police Ombudsman of Northern Ireland is all about and whether making contact with them might be the right thing for you to do here. The situation in the Republic of Ireland is very different. The Republic's Garda Siochana has the Garda Siochana Complaints Board with a website at www.oasis.gov.ie/justice/general/garda_siochana_complaints_board.html, but this is not a fully independent police complaints service. The Republic of Ireland has no fully independent police complaints service. The government is promising to establish a Garda Ombudsman service similar to the Police Ombudsman of Northern Ireland service, but, 'when?' is what I and many others in the escort business in the Republic of Ireland would like to know.
