There's an urgent call for action to restore community policing in Sligo.

As the population grows, it's thought that the garda trainee intake remains far too low to achieve adequate policing levels.

Labour Cllr. Ann Higgins is calling on the government to urgently publish a funded plan to ensure at least 1,000 new gardai are trained every year.

Speaking to Ocean FM Cllr. Higgins there are now 10% fewer Gardaí per capita than there were five years ago.
