Drug Related Intimidation Reporting Programme:
Throughout the country, and within each Garda Division there are specially trained Garda Inspectors who will:
- Meet you confidentially & safely at a location that suits you.
- Provide practical safety information.
- Listen to your particular experience of intimidation and discuss options available to you.
- Give information on a range of drug supports in your local area if required.
- Outline the process if you choose to make a formal complaint to An Garda Síochána
An Garda Síochána will offer the following:
- Confidentiality
- Practical safety information
- Advice in relation to particular threats or instances of intimidation
- Information on appropriate drug support services for the individual in the family who is accruing drug debts
- How to make a formal complaint, what is involved, what happens after and possible outcomes.
It is the decision of the person being intimidated if they want to make a formal complaint or not.
