Some Warned But Police Leadership Was Deaf

The article focuses on the understaffing of the Larnaca Police Directorate and the indifference of the Police leadership to the repeated warnings of police officers. It is pointed out that new police officers without sufficient experience are transferred to critical departments, while many police officers have requested transfers or retired early due to bad practices and party interests. The situation has led to uncontrolled clashes of factions in the city, endangering citizens. The Police are trying to justify the unjustifiable, while the leadership is absent from the area and bears the greatest responsibility for the failure.
