The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) and Policing Board need to reconnect with communities and build and restore trust, NI Secretary Brandon Lewis has said.
Mr Lewis was addressing Parliament in the wake of recent rioting.
Some violence has also been linked to police operations targeting the South East Antrim UDA, a paramilitary group involved in organised crime.
Mr Lewis told the House of Commons on Tuesday that 88 police officers had been injured in the violence, with 18 arrests made and 15 people charged.
