Changes to the Police Working Hours
January 28, 2026
The leadership of the Police has implemented a new work schedule for 1,000 police officers starting from January 1, 2026, which is expected to reduce their working hours. The working hours remain unchanged for those on shift, but rest days are gradually increasing. This new framework aims to impact the overtime payments made to police officers. According to the leadership, these changes stem from an agreement with union representatives and government decisions. The ministry aimed to align police working hours with those of other public employees.
