He expects to hire the Ministry of Justice in 200, in order to solve the serious staffing problems that exist, in the model of the Contract Armed Forces (SOP) of the National Guard.
At the moment there are about 650 vacancies in the Police and another 100 in the Fire Service and it is difficult to fill them with the recruitment procedures (examinations, sports and psychometric tests) while a recruitment process that has been running since last year will start now, but from 250 initially only 145 have managed to reach the final stage of selection.
As the Minister of Justice, George Savvidis, stated to "F", at the moment the Police has a huge need for personnel to take to the streets, which is why the solution was decided with the contracted police officers. Those who will be hired will be given a contract for one plus one year and the hires will be done with measurable criteria, but without exams. Those interested will be hired based on their diploma and physical condition and will be paid like the SYOP, ie A1 scale plus the shift allowance.
Information from "F" states that those who will be hired will undertake mostly tasks related to immigrants. That is, they will man the roadblocks, the detention centers in Mennogia, the patrols on the green line, etc.
The issue was discussed yesterday in the Parliament's Legal Committee through a teleconference, with the Minister of Justice emphasizing the need for approval of the relevant bill recently approved by the Council of Ministers for the Police to breathe. As Mr. Savvidis told us, at this time the House is in charge of the special duties for the observance of the decrees on decontamination and so several police officers are on the streets to check the citizens, leaving their regular duties. The Legal Committee is now expected to discuss the issue in Parliament and forward it for approval, as it has been requested to be considered in the form of urgency.
We remind you that illegal immigration is a headache for the government, since before the coronation there was a dangerously increased flow of immigrants from parts of the dead zone, which are not monitored. Police say they do not have enough staff to take on the role, but this is a problem that needs to be resolved before the occupiers' air and other connections with Turkey resume, as Ankara is expected to resume sending migrants and to guide them to cross the free zones from the dead zone.
