Galway Bay fm newsroom – Community Gardaí are expected to be re-stationed in Corofin and Ardrahan in the coming weeks.
It’s part of a new garda divisional model being tested in Galway which will see more community engagement.
The matter was raised at a meeting of the County Joint Policing Committee today.
