Loizidis: Police exposed to traumatic images and incidents

The recent tragedy in Zakaki has reignited public discussion regarding police officers carrying weapons while off-duty.

Nikos Loizidis, the president of the Police Department branch of the ISOTITA union, spoke out against proposals to disarm police officers.

Loizidis emphasized that police officers are frequently exposed to traumatic images and incidents in the line of duty.

The ongoing debate includes concerns about the mental health impact on police officers from such exposures.

Calls for changes in policies regarding off-duty firearm carry are being met with resistance from law enforcement representatives.
