The Police Association is encouraged by the appointment of Ginny Andersen as Police Minister.
It had hoped for a more senior minister to take the role, and for the new minister to be fully engaged in what the Association says is a big and important portfolio.
While Ginny Andersen isn't a senior minister, the Association's president Chris Cahill says she will be fully engaged, and her police background will come in handy.
Anderson has declined our request for an interview.
Cahill spoke to Kim Hill.
