This poor man has been forced to resign from the Police Force just because he stole €67,000 - you'd have thought they would have given him a second chance - or, just maybe, ARRESTED and CHARGED him!!!
So, if you want to avoid the consequences of your crime..join the Police!

Police purge is a ‘road of no return’

POLICE have forced an officer to resign after he stole around €67,000 received as evidence in a drugs related case, it was announced yesterday.

The officer, whose identity has not been made public, admitted guilt to three charges: improper conduct, dereliction of duty and conduct unbecoming a police officer.

A police statement said the officer had been forced to resign.

The officer stole €67,170 which had been confiscated as evidence in a drugs trafficking case in Larnaca in 2008.

It was the second dismissal of a police officer in the past ten days.

“This is a tangible example that anyone putting themselves outside the boundaries of their duty has no place in the force,” police spokesman Michalis Katsounotos told the Cyprus Mail.

He added that the police leadership was committed to cleanse the force.

“It is a road of no return,” Katsounotos said.

Thirteen members of the force have been sacked or forced to resign in the past five years, the police said.

On Thursday a police inspector was suspended after he was allegedly caught red-handed playing cards at a Nicosia coffee shop while on duty.

Police have found themselves on the receiving end of a lot of criticism recently over their handling of numerous issues.

Today, the force is holding a mini charm offensive at the Mall of Cyprus from 11am to 3pm titled “Together with the police for a safer society”. The event is part of the force’s outreach programme towards the public, and particularly the youth. The event will be broadcast live by Klik FM. A number of presents will be handed out to youngsters at the event while the police leadership will also make a show at 11.30pm, where the police chief will speak on Klik FM.

Svetlana you are getting more sarcastic every day. Our Oracle will not take kindly to your suggestion that there is anything corrupt in the roc and the Greek lands in general. I would be careful if I was you, she will try to ban you. Damn it I forgot you are the admin.

That is the most worrying aspect of the roc police. That they can break the law as they wish and nobody can do anything about it except ask them to resign. Who set this police force up, Yorgadjis?
Now theres a decent name from the past.
