New Work Schedule for the CPO Starting in 2026
May 19, 2026
Starting January 1, 2026, a new work schedule will apply to police officers in the Crime Prevention Unit (CPO). Officers will work fewer hours per shift but will lose an equivalent number of days off. The aim of the change is to implement a uniform schedule and increase the operational capability of the police. This new arrangement is expected to improve policing efficiency. These changes are based on previous decisions regarding public sector working hours.
