    You get assaulted pretty regularly, working night shifts and the spending all day in court is tough. Lack of members meaning a high work load, massive amount of box ticking, aswell as poor management. Members retiring at an alarming rate. People need to keep all this in mind when joining, if I had a family member joining I would advise them against it. In relation to the fitness test, there is zero time given by the job to train, it all has to be done on your own time. If fitness test become mandatory so be it, but you must give Gardai time to train, and at the moment there are not enough Gardai to answer calls.

      You forgot all that time in court is meaningless. Everyone gets a suspended sentence for practically anything so you’ll be repeatably arresting the same scumbags over and over again. Gets old real quick. Hence everyone leaving.

      Decent people will not join AGS because crime and corruption is endemic in the organisation.
      That is why there is a manpower shortage.
      Whining about supposed poor pay and conditions won't wash.

    • @sbkenn1
      @sbkenn1 9 місяців тому

      Protect, Deter, detect, and only prosecute "in the public interest"
      As for resources, far too many prosecutions are adjourned, often multiple times. Gardai aren't supposed to be prosecutors, they are witnesses. Add to that, the statutory courts are a fraud. The original Courts Act (1924) was never Commenced. The DRAFT Commencement Order was supposedly stamped on a date before the seal was even ordered. Documentary evidence from the National Archive. All subsequent Acts depend on the first one.

    I don't know about the lack of continuous assessment for fitness over a garda's career, but they don't even provide a bootcamp to whip recruits into shape. They (the guards) expect recruits to be already in shape! I suppose they also expect the recruit to know everything an experienced garda would know before even beginning their tuition in police studies. How are you suppose to become fit if they don't have a fitness course for recruits? If that sort of b.s. happened in the army or navy, there'd be no one accepted as a recruit.
