Catholics in PSNI

Feckitt · March 31, 2009, 01:42:16 PM

According to BBC website, 26% of PSNI are now catholic.

Where are they all coming from? I have never even heard rumours of someone I know joining the police!

I do think rural areas of the 6 counties (particulary Antrim & Down) are providing the majority of catholic recruits. A job in the cops has zero appeal to me no matter where I would live, I just think its a shit job, nothing more, the same would apply to the Gardai.

According to Lynchboy they are all coming from England.

you can say the psni are heading in the right direction but they have a hell of a way to go to get support from republican community,when i see a policeman from crossmaglen,carrickmore or bellaghy then i will maybe change my opinion.

There have been many recruits even in West Belfast over this last four years. I actually have suspicions SS2 is a recruit. He has that look off him.
