It is not possible to provide an estimate of police time expended on historic criminal activity and current criminal activity since the Belfast Agreement. Calculating this would involve considerable time and resources and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
The Historic Enquiry Team (HET), which includes not only the PSNI but also the Police Ombudsman, PPS and the Forensic Science Agency was established to re-examine all 3,268 murders related to the security situation during the period from 1968 until the signing of the Belfast Agreement and has been allocated £34 million over six years.
