Court Dispute Over New Police Schedule

February 5, 2026

The members of the union 'EQUALITY' and the Cyprus Police met in the Administrative Court regarding the new schedule affecting over 1,000 police officers. The Judge requested to hear both sides' positions on the union's request to temporarily suspend the Chief of Police's decision. The Chief announced a new schedule on December 30, 2025, which will change the working system for officers. The union representatives express concerns that these changes will result in financial losses and reduced rest time. The judge's decision is expected during the first hearing in the upcoming Spring.
