New Developments on Police Shift Schedule in Cyprus

January 19, 2026

The new shift schedule affecting over 1,000 police officers in Cyprus has sparked reactions. Police union representatives have filed a complaint with the Administrative Court against the Police Chief's decision to change the schedule and reduce allowances. A request for a stay of execution of the decision is expected to be examined until the main application is reviewed. The union continues to engage with political parties to support their case. A protest at the Parliament is also planned.
