Answer

The Independent Commission on Policing, led by Chris Patten, was established in 1998 to review policing in Northern Ireland. The commission's report, published in 1999, made a number of recommendations for reforming the police service, including the creation of a new Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI). The PSNI was established in 2001 and has been credited with improving community relations and reducing sectarian violence in Northern Ireland.
