Irish police (Gardaí) have expressed concerns regarding a newly launched drug diversion scheme, citing a lack of preparation for frontline members. Officials report that the scheme was implemented without any prior training or notification given to officers who will be directly involved. This sudden rollout has raised questions about the effectiveness and safety of the program. Gardaí fear that the absence of adequate preparation could hinder their ability to effectively manage the new protocols. The lack of communication regarding the scheme’s details has also been a point of contention. Concerns center on ensuring a smooth and safe implementation for both officers and individuals impacted by the diversion program, and questions remain about how these issues will be addressed.
