Special Reports
In its 20 year history, the SIU has often been the subject of controversy and scrutiny. As a result the Unit has undergone numerous external reviews and subsequent reports which examined issues of SIU - police co-operation, limited resources and operational effectiveness. In several cases these reports have played a significant role in shaping the organization today.
