There’s Already No Money Even For Police

Police officers complain of wage cuts and a lack of prospects.

The Belarusian Documentation Center cites a letter from one of the police officers.

Here is the original text:

“I have worked in the police for more than 10 years. I am from Minsk, but I have not got a home of my own. We live with my family in a rented apartment. It’s a myth that all of us without exceptions are gifted a housing. Well, of course there are such people – those who have demonstrated “particular zeal” or who perform special missions.

Believe me, there are enough of normal people among us – many refuse to respond to rallies and strikes held by the opposition, refuse to make fake protocols, refuse to be a witness. And we do not have normal conditions for work (though, some have them). For example, we buy all the office supplies ourselves! Sometimes we use 5 blocks of paper for printer. And though we have swallowed that and were buying everything at our own expense, the last innovation has shocked to the core!

And the point is as follows. The rental housing was partially paid for us (police officers without own accommodation). A week ago we were “voluntary-compulsory” asked to write a statement saying that we allegedly voluntarily ask to stop paying for our rental housing, and ask to deduct the amounts that have already been paid for us from our salaries!!!

They take the last rental agreement as a basis, i.e. if I have lived in the last apartment for three years – then I have to return the money for all those three years! The atmosphere is tense in the district police department – many are going to quit.”
