The increasing volume in the amount and complexity of information that An Garda Síochána generates, gathers and manages on a daily basis means that it is creating, receiving and retaining records of increasing value and sensitivity. Ensuring appropriate organisational standards for Archives and Records Management is a critical element of information governance. Such standards relate to the creation, control, use, storage, transfer and maintenance of this information held or processed by the organisation. To this end, a new Records Management Office was established within An Garda Síochána in July 2025 to lead the development of improved governance practices in relation to both current and archival records. This is a developing area and is informed by data protection legislation, the National Archives Act, internationally recognised standards for data and records management, models of best practice in policing, the wider public sector and large private organisations, and the public expectation that all records held by An Garda Síochána are appropriately safeguarded and managed. The Senior Archivist and Records Specialist will assist the Head of Records Management with the running of this new Records Management Office and will ensure that there are appropriate standards and controls in place for the ongoing management of information and records across multiple formats. The Records Management Office is a new business area within the remit of the Garda National Data Protection Office and, as part of the Chief Information Officer group, operates alongside other dedicated data and technology functions.
