All matters concerning our members will be addressed promptly and adequately. The communication channels between our members and the association will remain open to all police officers regardless of rank or unit,\u201d he added.<br \/>\nGeorgiou extended special thanks to the outgoing chairman, \u201cfor his years of dedicated trade union work, which significantly enhanced the policing profession.\u201d<br \/>\nMeanwhile, the association has dismissed rumours suggesting that the police is considering changes to the method of disbursing officers\u2019 earned overtime pay, stating that no such discussions or reactions have taken place.<br \/>\n\u201cIn response to these insinuations, the CPA assures and reassures all police officers that, following consultation with the police headquarters, such rumours are unfounded,\u201d the association said in a statement.<br \/>\n\u201cThe CPA fully understands the origins of these allegations and assures its members that it will never consent to any alteration of the existing method of overtime payment and will continue to responsibly safeguard the legitimate interests of police officers.\u201d<br \/>\nThe statement concluded by noting that, as part of the broader agreement between the CPA and the finance ministry, the gradual restoration of allowances, including shift allowances, will be completed by January 1, 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The newly elected
