Police Union Actions Following Decision on New Work Schedule
December 31, 2025
Police union representatives are planning a series of measures following the decision by the Chief of Police, Themistocles Arnaoutis, regarding changes to their work schedule. This decision affects over 1,000 police officers, who will work 11 hours instead of 12. The assembly of the Cyprus Police Association decided to send a letter to the Mixed Police Committee and will meet with the Minister of Justice. They are also exploring legal avenues to overturn this decision. The union members believe this change infringes upon the police officers' labor rights.
