North West to get twelve additional Gardai

The North West is to be allocated twelve additional Gardai.

It’s the highest allocation outside the Capital.

53 Gardai were attested as sworn members this morning, bringing the total numbers of Gardaí attested to An Garda Síochána to date in 2022 to 370.

The total number of sworn Gardaí is currently 14,352.

These 53 members of An Garda Síochána commenced their Garda training in November 2021, having originally applied to become members of An Garda Síochána in the 2018 recruitment campaign.

They have undertaken a blend of on-line learning, on-site learning in the Garda College, and experiential learning in training Garda stations. These 53 newly sworn Gardaí will now take on operational responsibilities.
