No, unfortunately I wouldn't, this country is too lenient on criminals and therefore its not a safe job. I also feel there is a culture of bullying within the force.

You get assaulted pretty regularly, working night shifts and the spending all day in court is tough. Lack of members meaning a high work load, massive amount of box ticking, aswell as poor management. Members retiring at an alarming rate. People need to keep all this in mind when joining, if I had a family member joining I would advise them against it. In relation to the fitness test, there is zero time given by the job to train, it all has to be done on your own time. If fitness test become mandatory so be it, but you must give Gardai time to train, and at the moment there are not enough Gardai to answer calls.

@chavebomber 10 ай бұрын

You forgot all that time in court is meaningless. Everyone gets a suspended sentence for practically anything so you’ll be repeatably arresting the same scumbags over and over again. Gets old real quick. Hence everyone leaving.

Mostly, they get assaulted because people don't respect them. That is mostly ON THEM. If they don't respect the law, how can they expect the rest of us to.

@fintonmainz7845 7 ай бұрын

Decent people will not join AGS because crime and corruption is endemic in the organisation. That is why there is a manpower shortage. Whining about supposed poor pay and conditions won't wash.

@sbkenn1 7 ай бұрын

Protect, Deter, detect, and only prosecute "in the public interest" As for resources, far too many prosecutions are adjourned, often multiple times. Gardai aren't supposed to be prosecutors, they are witnesses. Add to that, the statutory courts are a fraud. The original Courts Act (1924) was never Commenced. The DRAFT Commencement Order was supposedly stamped on a date before the seal was even ordered. Documentary evidence from the National Archive. All subsequent Acts depend on the first one.

I don't know about the lack of continuous assessment for fitness over a garda's career, but they don't even provide a bootcamp to whip recruits into shape. They (the guards) expect recruits to be already in shape! I suppose they also expect the recruit to know everything an experienced garda would know before even beginning their tuition in police studies. How are you suppose to become fit if they don't have a fitness course for recruits? If that sort of b.s. happened in the army or navy, there'd be no one accepted as a recruit.

€305 per week is €8 an hour while the minimum wage is €12.70 per hour. Wonder why you’ll struggle to fill your quota. Then you get €2500 take home pay per month and have to deal with all sorts of shit everyday in work. No thanks.

@@user-vn9sq1rc7c he quoted €305 per week for 32 weeks which on a 38 hour week is €8,I assume is that’s training,then €35000 per year once training is completed. Used the online tax calculator which gave me €2500 per month take home from that. And minimum wage is €12.70.

Louisiana in the USA are the only state to retain a Napoleonic Civic code of Law .. obviously its modernised and in line with US common law and as a republic we are eligible for such law..if one half of your recruuts wants law reform and the laws of a republic one hundred years after independence and the other half want to ing to common law only ...then its not a matter of management or pay is it ? A Garda is an agent of common law courts unable to evolve under a union jack but incapable of advancement under a tricolour ..An Eireann State Trooper on the other hand ???
