No Agreement Reached on Police Working Hours

Today's meeting of the Joint Personnel Committee of the Police at the Ministry of Justice regarding the working hours of police officers and the issue of overtime did not result in an agreement. The president of the Cyprus Police Association, Angelos Nikolaou, stated that the Chief of Police and the Director-General of the Ministry of Justice informed them that due to the court proceedings on overtime scheduled for February 4th, an in-depth discussion of the issue was not possible. A request was made to reconvene the committee after the completion of the court proceedings, as changes to the schedule and the reduction of overtime have caused unrest among police officers.
