Abstract
It is convenient to take as a starting point the Report of the Advisory Committee on Police in Northern Ireland. As a direct result of the breakdown of law and order throughout Ulster, the Minister of Home Affairs for Northern Ireland, the equivalent of the Home Secretary in England and Wales, appointed an Advisory Committee
to examine the recruitment, organisation, structure and composition of the Royal Ulster Constabulary and the Ulster Special Constabulary and their respective functions and to recommend as necessary what changes are required to provide for the efficient enforcement of law and order in Northern Ireland.33
