Police Union Condemns Reduction in Shift Schedules, Threatens Legal Action

The Police Force Branch of the ISOTITA union has strongly reacted to the unilateral decision of the Chief of Police to reduce police shift schedules. The union states that the decision has provoked universal reaction from political parties, MPs, organized movements, other unions, and former senior police officials, describing it as isolated, unjustified, and detached from society. ISOTITA warns that it will take all legal and institutional action to revise the decision, emphasizing that the dignity of police officers is non-negotiable. The responsibility for the consequences of not revising the decision lies with those who ignore the voice of the police and the broader public will.
