An Garda Síochána

An Garda Síochána is Ireland's national police service, responsible for maintaining law and order, preventing and investigating crime, and ensuring public safety. Established in 1922, it operates across the country through regional divisions and specialized units. Officers enforce laws, assist the public, and work to promote community safety and trust. An Garda Síochána also collaborates with other agencies to address issues like terrorism, fraud, and public health emergencies. Its motto, "Guardians of the Peace," reflects its role in protecting citizens and upholding justice within Irish society.
