The mission of An Garda Síochána is “Keeping People Safe”. An Garda Síochána is in and of the community and community policing is the key to and at the core of the ethos of the Organisation.

The Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland calls for a reflection of the diversity of Irish Society within An Garda Síochána, “diverse not only in gender and ethnicity, but also in socio-economic, educational and geographical background”.
