🚓 Community Patrols in Sallins 🚓
Members of Naas Gardaí carried out high-visibility foot patrols in Sallins, with particular attention given to the Grand Canal area.

These patrols provide an opportunity to engage with the local community, offer reassurance, and help ensure that public spaces remain safe and welcoming for everyone to enjoy.

We would like to thank the many residents and visitors who stopped for a chat during the evening. Your support and cooperation are greatly appreciated.

If you see us out and about, don't hesitate to say hello.
