Chief Constable Jon Boutcher said: “Following my statement this morning in response to the Justice Minister’s announcement of secured funding for the PSNI data breach compensation, we sought further clarification from the Minister’s office.
"It is disappointing to learn that the funding has not yet been agreed by the Executive for data breach compensation, which I know will be a further blow to the our officers and staff. We appreciate the Minister’s continued efforts to secure agreement from the Executive and we remain determined that a positive resolution can still be achieved.”
"I will continue to lobby for this funding for our officers and staff who every day serve our communities with professionalism, resilience and a deep sense of duty, often in challenging and unseen circumstances.”
