Cernetanu: Police work is less attractive and poorly paid

The head of the General Inspectorate of Police, Viorel Cernetanu, said this in an interview with Ziarul de Gardă newspaper, radiomoldova.md reports.

“Over time, all those benefits that have been offered or guaranteed to policemen, about free transport, advantageous utilities or other benefits that were the only ones that could be obtained until now, is that policemen who live in the locality receive an allowance for the rent of their living space, an allowance of about 1,800 lei and, of course, only in the locality they use free public transport.

You will only be able to use this uniform free of charge if you are employed. If you don’t honour the term in which you were offered the uniform, you are released early, you have to compensate it”, said Viorel Cerneuțianu.

In 2017, there was one MAI officer for every 223 people in Moldova.
