Mr Boutcher outlined the impact the budgetary shortfall would have on policing in Northern Ireland and said it was important to 'lobby strongly' for adequate funding
The PSNI is beginning to stabilise following a series of controversies, the interim head of the organisation has said.
"We have begun to stabilise even in recent days, because of recent events that caused, I think, a lot of uncertainty and challenge for the organisation, and given reassurance and support to those hard-working staff," he said. The DUP is blocking the devolved institutions in Belfast in a protest against post-Brexit trading arrangements and senior civil servants are currently running public services in the region.
"But I want to thank the board for their support around the funding issue so far. We need to drive that home to everybody, especially those who are going to make the decisions about our funding going forward." Mr Boutcher outlined the impact the budgetary shortfall would have on policing in Northern Ireland and said it was important to "lobby strongly" for adequate funding.
He added: "There's a considerable amount of work to do to stop these consequences from occurring, some of which as I've explained we can mitigate, but we need the help of everybody to address the issues that we can't mitigate unless we get sufficient funding."
