To ordinary mortals from the other side of the Irish Sea, the third official name for this force - (the other two names being Irish and Ulster-Scots respectively) - is the more familiar Police Service of Northern Ireland. A creation of the Patten Commission, the name sounds equally clumsy in all three languages. As the link shows, the PSNI, have translators on hand in the control room for any Ulster-Scots speaker whose Inglis is not up to scratch. http://www.psni.police.uk/ulster_scots.pdf A similar service is available for Irish speakers. http://www.psni.police.uk/irish.pdf
