Crime prevention is everybody's business

The Gardaí cannot fight crime alone without the support and cooperation of the community. Everybody has a role to play in attempting to prevent and reduce crime. I would encourage all members of the community to actively consider how they can contribute to this goal. These pages contain basic information which will help you to improve your own security, and reduce the fear of crime and the risk of it occurring. The information provided promotes a safer, more secure and pleasant environment to both enjoy, live and work in.

Crime Prevention Officers

All members of An Garda Síochána promote crime prevention and reduction. However there are also dedicated Crime Prevention Officers (CPOs) within each Garda Division. These CPOs are trained to encourage, promote and advise on crime prevention to both the private and business community.

To contact your local Crime Prevention Officer, please go to the List of Crime Prevention Officers

The National Crime Prevention Unit

In addition to Divisional CPOs, there are also CPOs based at the National Crime Prevention Unit (NCPU) in Garda Headquarters, Harcourt Square, Dublin 2. 

The NCPU’s responsibilities include:-

• The promotion of crime prevention and reduction
• Research into best practice
• The development of policies and strategies
• Training for CPOs
