Hugh Orde, PSNI Chief Constable
New figures show that over the past 18 months the number of people who think the PSNI has done a good job has dropped from 69% to 61%.
In its new Policing Plan, the Policing Board are challenging PSNI Chief Constable Hugh Orde and his officers to bring the satisfaction rating up to 70%.
Policing Board Chairman Desmond Rea said the £710m budget for the force meant the improvements demanded could be achieved.
The Board wants an increase in detection levels and reduction in crime rates, a clamp down on sick leave levels and the implementation of a civilianisation programme aimed at getting hundreds more officers out of administrative work and on to patrol.
