Changes Within the Police Force...

The decision by the Chief of Police, Themistos Arnautis, to change the working hours of approximately 1,000 police officers working a 12X36 shift system, in order to increase police presence on the streets, has sparked reactions from police unions. Officers believe that this change affects their labor rights. Mr. Arnautis appears determined to proceed with a reorganization of the Force, even if it means confrontation. The question is whether he will seek to change other established practices within the Police Force to achieve his goal.
