CONVERY ‘ORDE MEETING USEFUL’

PSNI Chief Constable Sir Hugh Orde today addressed the SDLP Association of Councillors at their November meeting in the Wellington Park Hotel, Belfast. The Chief Constable addressed the meeting on a number of issues, including the future role of MI5 in the North, the role of the DPP’s, and police performance and the volume of serious crime.

Speaking after the meeting Chair of the SDLP Association of Councillors Pat Convery stated:

“Today’s meeting gave SDLP Councillors from across the North an opportunity to hear from and ask questions of the Chief Constable. His presence is both welcome and worthwhile. The meeting is part of an ongoing process, as part of the new policing dispensation, of working with the PSNI on policing progress and problems. The meeting was both informative and challenging for both the SDLP and the Chief Constable.”
