BALLYMONEY POLICE STATION

Your Neighbourhood Policing Team is committed to making your neighbourhood safer for everyone. The team aims to achieve this by working with you and partners in the community to identify and tackle local priorities.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland’s purpose is to make Northern Ireland safer for everyone through professional, progressive policing. We achieve this goal through policing with the community. This proactive, community-driven approach sees the police and local community working together to identify and solve problems. Our Purpose: Making Northern Ireland safer for everyone through professional, progressive policing. Our vision is a service everyone can be proud of because it delivers policing at its best. The Crime Operations Department is responsible for conducting all investigations into organised crime and serious crime, including murder and terrorism. Teams of detectives work with in-house specialists, including crime analysts and scientific support officers and staff, to deliver investigations and manage intelligence. The Criminal Justice Department exists to support the organisation through the effective management of community safety services (e.g. hate crime, youth justice, neighbourhood watch), criminal legislation, and justice development and policy. Criminal Justice also has responsibility for overseeing Policing with the Community and within this remit the Department supports District Commanders in developing Neighbourhood Policing. Much of the work of the Criminal Justice Department is developed in partnership with other organisations and agencies – such as the Government, District Policing Partnerships, Health Trusts and the Northern Ireland Housing Executive. The protection of human rights has always been at the core of policing. The introduction of the Human Rights Act 1998 in October 2000 served to formalise this in a way that had not before existed. The Police Service of Northern Ireland has developed programmes to ensure that all its officers and staff understand the principles of human rights and the obligations placed upon them. This is reflected in the policies, planning and practice of the Service.
