The Chief Constable has listened to the worries over PSNI branding switch – let’s move past it
(‘Chief constable ditches plan to change PSNI branding’, page 14, News Letter, June 10).
In our pre-consultation phase, we saw merit and value in much of what was proposed. At the heart of what was set out was a desire to simplify and modernise PSNI branding. The pre-consultation was open and transparent. One element, however, subsequently received some push-back.

It is now time to move on from here. In our view, this does not take away from the worthwhile goal of modernising the look of the service.
For example, work on uniforms and vehicles must proceed as it will benefit officers in a meaningful and practical way.
The Chief Constable has listened and acted promptly and we share his desire to do what is best for the PSNI and the full range of services officers provide this entire community.
