This book examines the organisational culture of the Irish police
service, speaking in particular to those interested in policing
organisations and organisational culture. It is set against a
backdrop of considerations such as community policing, police
accountability, the management of change in Irish policing, and
where the Irish police situates itself in relation to police
organisations internationally. An Garda Si ocha na, the national
police service of the Republic of Ireland, has a stated community
policing style which focuses on an interactive relationship with
the community and results in a largely unarmed policing
organisation which makes it different to most police organisations.
Yet, the author argues that the organisational culture has
prevented them from embodying community policing across the
organisation. Exploring the organisation's historical context and
how they are trained, this book draws on new research and data
spanning 30 years including tribunals and reports to examine the
organisational culture over time including potential misconduct,
blame culture, and resistance to change within the organisation, in
order to provide a more thorough understanding of a relatively
unknown policing organisation.
