AKEL: Institutional Issues and Manipulation Harm Police Operational Readiness

AKEL points out that the recent mass promotions in the Police force highlight problems in the evaluation system and the lack of transparency in the promotion processes. Complaints from members of the force report injustices and partisan biases. AKEL reiterates its proposal for institutional changes in the evaluation and promotion system, recalling the recommendations of the GRECO of the Council of Europe for greater objectivity and transparency. The party emphasizes that institutional problems and “manipulation” in the processes harm the operational readiness of the Police and the sense of security of citizens.
