20 Years of the PSNI – What has changed?
- This event has passed.
Description
It has been two decades since the rebranding of the ‘Royal Ulster Constabulary’ and the commencement of a supposed ‘new dispensation’ and the PSNI.
On the 4th of November in 2001, the RUC received a heavy lick of paint, its funding, infrastructure, equipment, armoured fleet of vehicles, personnel, weaponry and purpose was given a new logo and name as part of a massive public relations exercise.
The PSNI project is an ongoing one, with the intentions and hope of selling the force and recruiting from the Catholic, Nationalist and Republican community; with little success.
Two decades on, with the shadow of collusion, plastic bullets, political harassment, intelligence gathering and the recruitment of informers casting long shadows over the organisation, we ask the question, what, if anything, has changed?
