20 police officers are quitting today

Friday, 15 May 2009 18:09

"We are extremely surprised about how these matters are being handled," said Arinbjorn Snorrason, chairman of the Police Union of Reykjavik and a police officer in Reykjavik, but the resignations of 20 police officers who were temporarily hired take effect today.

Arinbjorn says that the government thinks that the police officers are good enough to watch everything while the kitchen utensils movement revolution was. "We do know that there are difficulties in the nation," says Arngrimur, "and the pressure that was on these 20 officers is now transferred on fewer hands. This does not look good." He says that it is odd that it is possible to treat people as the police is being treated. "It is nearly as if we are waiting here at the police stations every morning just to hear if we have a job. This is just sad."

There is unease within the union because of this case and the officers feel that the office is not doing as well as it should be able to.
