The Ministry of Interior is working on the 'Police Profession Law', which foresees a comprehensive change in the working system, personal rights, and job descriptions of police officers. The new regulation aims to establish clear rules for overtime practices and to make leave rights more planned and systematic. Additionally, it aims to increase the social security opportunities for police officers and to expand housing facilities.
With the new regulation prepared by the Ministry of Interior, the working system, personal rights, and job descriptions of the police will be completely changed.
The comprehensive legal regulation aimed at the security organization, which the Ministry of Interior has been working on for a long time, has reached its final stages. With the new "Police Profession Law" prepared due to the current law's inability to respond to contemporary needs, fundamental changes in the organizational structure are planned.
WORKING HOURS AND LEAVE SYSTEM RESTRUCTURED
According to the news in Turkey newspaper; the draft regulation focuses particularly on the heavy workload and irregular working hours. With the new system, it is aimed to establish clear rules for overtime practices and to make leave rights more planned and systematic. These changes, which will directly affect the daily working order of the police, foresee the reorganization of long working hours.
IMPROVEMENT IN PERSONAL RIGHTS
Strengthening social rights is also among the important topics in the regulation. It is planned to increase the social security opportunities for police officers, expand housing options, and make health and psychological support mechanisms more effective.
CLARIFICATION OF DUTIES AND POWERS
With the new law, it is aimed to define the duties and powers of the police more clearly. While it is planned to clarify the limits of authority to prevent differences in field applications, regulations regarding union rights and independent audit mechanisms are also expected to be included in the draft.
GOAL OF COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS
In the study where compliance with international standards in education and professional development is taken into account, the aim is to strengthen the qualified human resources of the security organization.
