As a result of the agreement reached in Belfast on the 10th April 1998, the Independent Commission on Policing in Northern Ireland was established. The Commission, chaired by the Right Honourable Chris Patten, reported in September 1999. The government subsequently published an implementation plan in June 2000 outlining how the report's recommendations would be implemented and in November 2000 the Police (Northern Ireland) Act 2000 was enacted. The government's implementation plan was further updated in August 2001.
The PSNI was established November 4 2001.
There are approximately 140 types of post within the Police Support Staff, which includes a number a specialist posts such as Accountant, Line Pilot, Occupational Psychologist, Occupational Health Nursing Advisers, Scenes of Crime Officers, etc.
