NI victims charity warns police officer cuts could lead to fewer crimes being reported
Janice Bunting from Victims Support NI said the cuts to the police force were hugely concerning
The PSNI said it will not be recruiting new officers this year, so officers who leave the force will not be replaced. Ms Bunting said victims' trauma could be prolonged as the cuts could also lead to investigations taking longer to be carried out. Retired detective John McVea told the programme that the cuts were not a surprise but that there was a "degree of sadness" that they were happening."Knowing the history of Northern Ireland, paramilitaries have a habit of filling any voids that are left by any gaps in policing.
