Alternate Minister for Civil Protection Nikos Toskas announced on Tuesday the abolition of the Greek police’s motorbike unit “Delta” and the merger of police stations as part of the reorganization and redeployment of its forces. Delta Unit was created in 2009 as a quick response team to address criminality at a neighbourhood level.
Speaking during a press conference, Toskas said the unit will be divided into three parts and that smaller police stations mainly in the periphery will be merged to improve effectiveness of security forces. He noted however that any outstanding disciplinary procedures against Delta’s police officers will continue.
The minister also announced similar actions for the Fire department.
