Brexit: PSNI remains committed to working closely with European countries: Chief Constable

PSNI remains committed to working closely with European countries to keep people from organised crime, cyber attack, terrorism or violent offenders, Chief Constable George Hamlton has said.

In his annual report, presented to the Northern Ireland Policing Board, today, Mr Hamilton pictured said “this operational requirement” must be maintained as Britain prepares leaves the European Union.

He added: “It is now for the government to negotiate the terms of our relationship with Europe but we will work with them to ensure we retain our ability to share intelligence, biometrics and other data at speed and to work with foreign police forces on linked investigations, enquiries and arrests.”
