Police Chief Addresses Legal Committee on Modernization and Work Schedule Alignment

The Chief of Police, Themistos Arnautis, appeared before the Parliamentary Legal Committee today to discuss the modernization of the Police Force and the alignment of its working hours with those of the Public Service. Mr. Arnautis emphasized that the modernization does not target police officers, but is a long-standing request of the personnel. The alignment of the schedule had been decided by the Council of Ministers in 2019 and ratified by Parliament in 2020, but its implementation has been fragmented. The Chief pledged to fully implement the new schedule as part of a broader reorganization of the Police Force.
