Police Service of Northern Ireland

Volume 457: debated on Wednesday 7 March 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many Police Service of Northern Ireland patrol vehicles are in operation in each district command unit area in Northern Ireland, broken down by vehicle type. (125014)

I have been advised by the PSNI that the deployment of patrol vehicles is a matter for the Chief Constable. For operational reasons PSNI does not provide details of the types of vehicle deployed in each area.

An overall deployment by District Command Unit is in the following tables.
