To be fair as the Gardai are the ones at the coal front day in day out and dealing with these people they know full well, unfortunately with only one station covering the whole city and reduced members with budget and manpower cuts there is only so much of a city 4 or 5 guards can cover.

Your local TDs are the ones to be voicing those concerns with, if you have two guards standing on John street it means the other 99% of the city has 1 or 2 cars available

How many Guards are actually on active duty in the city? O_o

Huh ? your saying we have only 4-5 Guards on duty on a weekend night?

I would have thought there must be at least 20-30 on duty at any one time...

At yet not many cuts for whoever sits in the offices making coffee
Priorities are fun

Its not classified. I was told by a GARDA that 51 in Waterford City is the number

51 on duty? dream on lad.

A city the size of waterford should have about eight guards and one sergeant working at night. Plus two plain clothes guards for part of the night.

But take away one for working behind the counter and another for prisoners and that only leaves six available for patrol assuming no one is on holidays or sick.

But that's typical of most of the country. There'll be what 11,000 guards come March. Take 2,000 away for management. I don't know what the numbers are for guards stuck indoors but i doubt there good. Now dived by four for the shift work and you get an idea of how few guards their is to deal with the whole country.

That's handy to know

You would need to take way senior officers, JLO's, community policing, gardai working in immigration office, gardai in the office who have days jobs, etc.

That could easily amount to 19 gardai - leaving 32 available, if you divide this by 4 (shifts) that would leave 8 gardai per shift.

If thats the case, I'd hate to be one of the 8 on night shift!

Thats the problem with the shift system. You have the same amount on from 8am to 4pm on a Monday as you have on the night shift on Friday\Satuarday. Makes so little sense to me

But see, thats the thing with the Gardai, there's no way to predict calls, so you could have a quiet Friday night and a bat-sh!t crazy Monday afternoon. The number of Gardai working at any time would scare some people to be honest. In Waterford anyway.

You also have to factor in leave, courses and sickness...
