Every street in Dublin will be assigned their own Garda by the end of the year, according to Assistant Commissioner Pat Leahy.
As part of a new community policing plan, an officer will be in charge of liaising with locals on a particular street.
The project is being rolled out in Dublin this year and will be rolled out nationwide by 2018.
Assistant Commissioner Leahy said: "We call it a Divisional Community Policing office, but it's more of a customer care office that deals with all of the issues associated with public representatives and key stakeholders and the community where you are guaranteed a response, you are guaranteed information."
