	CAIN: Issue: Policing: Principles for Policing in Northern Ireland, Discussion Paper, 4 March 1998 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		It is about what the police can and cannot do; how they carry out their work; how they interact with the community they serve on one hand, and the wider criminal justice system on the other; how they are recruited and trained; organised and financed; and to whom and how they should be accountable.
		In addition, there must be effective and transparent ways of making the police answerable ('accountable') for their actions as and when a breach of those rules or standards is alleged to have taken place; and fair and rigorous means of redress if a breach is established.
		Police accountability must, therefore, go hand in hand with the need to allow the police the flexibility, powers and freedom to get on with their job, on behalf of the whole community; and with community support for the body of the law itself.

	Peace Keeping Problem Solving Leadership Toronto
		The history of conflict in Northern Ireland, much of it historically directed at the police, had created a culture of division and a tremendous challenge for the new police service, a challenge where a new vision of leadership change would be critical.
		Members of this new service had to be prepared to deal with a community they had seldom interacted with because they policed in groups and did so from behind fortress walls and in armoured vehicles.
		A police service hated by so many community elements on both sides yet expected to suddenly-overnight- become a caring and compassionate institution of peace and reconciliation that could apply a "community interest" in policing.

		I suspect this [issue of royal arms of Northern Ireland] is one of those issues that has just been fudged because no one wants to face the almost inevitable furore that would follow an official pronouncement of the arms of Northern Ireland, or rather of the Royal Arms for use in Northern Ireland.

		According to the Flaggenbuch (1939), the badge on the defaced Union Flag of the Governor of Northern Ireland was a gold disk with a shield.
