Garda Siochana
 An Garda Síochána - Ireland's National Police Service - has its headquarters in the Phoenix Park, one of the largest municipal parks in Europe, on the western side of Dublin city.
The general direction, management and control of An Garda Síochána is the responsibility of the Commissioner, who is appointed by the Government. He is responsible to the Minister for Justice, Equality & Law Reform who in turn is accountable to the Dáil (the Irish Legislature). Essentially, while the Minister is responsible to the Government for the performance of An Garda Síochána, he does not run the organisation on a day to day basis. This is the function of the Commissioner, who discharges his responsibilities within the rule of law, legal regulation, and in accordance with best practice and procedure.
The Commissioner's management team comprises two Deputy Commissioners and ten Assistant Commissioners. The Deputy Commissioners advise the Commissioner of policy matters. They also have functional responsibility.
Deputy Commissioner Operations co-ordinates the activities of the Assistant Commissioner responsible for Crime, Security and Traffic. In addition he has a co-ordinating role with regard to the execution of responsibilities of the Assistant Commissioners in charge of each Region.
Deputy Commissioner Strategic and Resource Management co-ordinates the activities of two Assistant Commissioners, one of whom is responsible for Human Resource Management and Research, and the other for Finance, Services and Community Relations.
