"In 1970 the security of Northern Ireland became the responsibility of the RUC, the British army, and the Ulster Defence Regiment (UDR). The British government has tried to keep the RUC as the chief peacekeeping force in Northern Ireland, while the army and the UDR play as minor roles as possible. Frequent complaints of RUC mistreatment of suspects and prisoners have led to investigations and some changes in procedures, such as closed-circuit monitoring of interview rooms at the Castlereagh interrogation centre at Belfast. As part of the reform implemented following the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement (1998), the RUC was renamed the Police Service of Northern Ireland in 2001." [Britannica]
