Could my request be broken down into the departments linked:

2. Justice
3. Local Policing
4. Operational Support
5. People and Organisational Development
6. Corporate Services
7. Professional Standards Department
8. Strategic Communications and Engagement
9. Strategic Planning and Transformation

Answer 1-2
Below are the current vacancies for EO2 by Department as at 31/01/2025.

Please note:

• In the above the minus figures indicate vacant posts but these have to be taken into consideration with the departments that have over established EO2s (plus figures),
• The return data is based on duty type EO2 only,
• Professional Standards Department and Strategic Communications are not Departments, they are Branches which are held within PSNI Command Department. The PSNI Command department is currently showing as over established by 0.57 for the duty type EO2 so there are no vacancies within PSD nor Strategic Communications Department.
