POLICING

The Progressive Unionist Party acknowledges the need for an effective and representative police service to uphold law, defend peace and protect the innocent. To achieve this goal a police force needs to have respect for the communities it serves. This respect must be two-way and can only be built through partnership. In the absence of armed conflict the police service must be given time to adjust to the new environment. Thus the party supports the process of change and will seek to help and facilitate as we can.
