Protestants more confident in Police Ombudsman
Figures released today have revealed that confidence in the Police Ombudsman within the Protestant community has risen to over two-thirds – up 20% on last year's mark.
The Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency's report found that Nuala O'Loan's office had impressed the public with its impartiality and efficiency.
Of those polled, 86% understood the ombudsman was independent to the PSNI and 80% believed any matter brought before the office would be dealt with fairly. A further 74% believed that the ombudsman would treat complaints in an impartial manner.
Over 1,200 people were polled between 3 February and 7 March 2003.
