Share this article Around 10,000 Gardaí are expected to be equipped with mobile devices by the end of the year as part of the force's digital development. The move is part of An Garda Síochána's mobility programme, which has transformed the roads policing division. As part of the programme, which was first trialled in Limerick in 2019, officers use apps that allow them to check a vehicle's history and tax status. Around 2,500 members use the devices on the frontline at the moment, with a further 2,500 being issued with new devices this week. This set to be expanded to 10,000 by the end of the year.
