Scope and content

Typescript memorandum by [Brendan Duddy] on the problems of policing in Northern Ireland, and offering proposals for change; c. early 1970s. Advocating a two-tier set-up with a centralised police service (CID), and local Community Action Groups (CAG), the latter to deal with community problems and petty crime, and in conjunction with complaints bureaus, and people's tribunals - illustrating his ideas with the example of Derry. Submitting that 'in itself, prior to any British disengagement, the CAG is essential' (p.2); and 'The Irish Republican Army should assist the CAGs in all possible ways, with advice, financial support, intelligence etc. It should not attempt to manipulate the CAGs...'(p 3). (With a caption by [Éamonn Downey] suggesting a date before Secretary of State Roy Mason's tenure of office.)
