PSNI: Effect of cuts will be seen on streets, says Byrne
Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) Chief Constable Simon Byrne says the public will soon see the effects of a cut in the number of officers.
The force has announced that it is reducing the number of its staff by 6% by March.
That means there will be 309 fewer police officers and 115 fewer civilian staff.
Mr Byrne says :"We might not be as visible tacking anti-social behaviour and dealing with the issues affecting people on the streets."
