Chief Arnaoutis Unveils Police Modernization Plan
December 31, 2025
The Chief of Police, Themistocles Arnaoutis, presented a plan to modernize the Cyprus Police during a press conference yesterday. One of his proposals includes changing police shifts from 12 hours to 11 to increase visibility on the streets. This would reduce the number of rest days for over 1,000 officers, which raises concerns amongst unions. Strong reactions are anticipated from the unions as the proposal has sparked unease. Despite possible backlash, Arnaoutis shows determination to implement the changes.
