Costas Fitiris is the Justice Minister. He has a big new plan for Cyprus police. He wants the police to be more modern. This will make people safer. It will also make police better at their jobs.
But some police groups do not like the plan. They think it is not good for police workers.
Minister Fitiris said crime is growing. We need better police now. His plan will help police work well. Police will also be seen more. They will do more patrols.
The AKEL party does not agree. They think changing work hours is bad. AKEL says the government wants to save money. This is not fair.
The Minister made a change to work hours. This affects many police officers. He told union leaders to be good. They must follow the rules.
The Minister is also changing prisons. This plan is ready by April. There will be new jobs. Prison guards will get better jobs. They will learn new things.
