Both the Justice Minister and the Garda Commissioner have been called on to review where frontline Gardaí are stationed particularly in rural areas.
Latest figures show that Sligo-Leitrim had the fourth highest number of Gardaí per 100,000 with 269 in total.
Cathaoirleach of the Sligo-Drumcliff Municipal District Thomas Walsh has previously raised the issue and is calling for a recruitment strategy to be put in place.
Councillor Walsh believes that the issue is effectively leaving both local communities and frontline Gardai themselves in a very unsafe position.
