SIX Donegal natives were attested as sworn members of An Garda Síochána this morning.
The new Gardaí commenced their Garda training in July 2023, and have undertaken a blend of on-line learning, on-site learning in the Garda College, and experiential learning in training Garda stations.
During their training these new Probationer Gardaí observed and assisted at Fatal Road Traffic Collisions, major crime investigations, drug seizures, on duty in Dublin during Serious Public Order Incident in November 2023 and helped citizens in need at their most vulnerable.
These newly sworn Gardaí will now take on operational responsibilities.
Speaking at today’s attestation, Commissioner Drew Harris welcomed the new Garda probationers.
“An Garda Síochána is built upon the hard work, dedication and commitment given by its Gardaí and its staff.
“As one of the most trusted police services in the world, the vast majority of people believe An Garda Síochána delivers a good service. And most people have few concerns about crime in their local area.
“These significant achievements have been possible by the foundations laid by others who have passed through this college and stood where you are today.
“And from today you will join them and strengthen this fine organisation,” he said.
