Speaking about the alerts at a number of venues scheduled to hold PSNI recruitment seminars Board Chair Anne Connolly said:
“It is disappointing that the venues scheduled to host a number of PSNI information sessions for the latest recruitment campaign have been the subject of security alerts.
However, past experience has shown that intimidation and threat won’t stop people choosing policing as a career and we know that there are already a large number of applications submitted for this latest competition.
Those behind these alerts have simply caused inconvenience to a large number of people who have had to be evacuated from the venues and surrounding areas.”
