Data showed Catholic officers born in Northern Ireland account for just 26.4% of the force
According to the most recent statistics, PSNI officers from a Catholic community background presently account for 31.7% of the force.
Catholic officers are nearly three times more likely to be born outside Northern Ireland than their counterparts from a Protestant community background. Among the 15.5% of Catholic officers born outside the region, 6.3% were born in England and 5.2% were born in the Republic.Just 1.33% PSNI officers are of an “Undetermined” background, not recorded as being from either a Catholic or Protestant background. Most of these police officers were born in England.
The purpose of this measure was to increase representation of the nationalist community in the police. In 2020 however, just 24% of new police recruits were from a Catholic background. He has also stated he does not support a 50/50 recruitment policy but that it would be "foolish to rule it out".These recent figures from the PSNI raise questions regarding the recruitment Catholic officers, and whether Catholics from outside Northern Ireland are being disproportionately recruited in response to nationalist reluctance to join the police.
