Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors
Representative body for middle rank police officers in Ireland / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors (AGSI) is the statutory staff association for police officers of the ranks of Sergeant, Station Sergeant and Inspector in Ireland.[1] Irish law prohibits members of the Garda Siochana from joining trade unions because of a view from Government that police industrial action would pose a risk to public safety. The AGSI is a 1978 reconstitution of a Representative Body for Inspectors, Station Sergeants and Sergeants (RBISS) set up under 1962 regulations. Three similar organisations exist for Gardai of other ranks up to that of Chief Superintendent.[2] As of September 2023, the association had a membership of around 2,500.[3] It is funded by a levy on its members. All Garda members of the appropriate ranks may apply to join.
