Police refuses to work without their TETRA radio
only in the early evening, after having found a solution the police started to continue their work on the street.
According to the online publication CMJornal, at least four officers of the Police station Pragal in Almada (Portugal), refused on Thursday to start a shift on the street, challenging the lack of radio communications. The protest took place before the beginning of the shift - between 16.00 and 20.00.
A Police source explained that there was less and less need for radios since the new SIRESPS communications system was implemented. So, on Thursday, there where not enough radios in the PSP Almada Division for all patrols.
The protest of the four police officers who were going to patrol in Pragal was immediate - and only in the early evening, after having found a solution - transfering radios from the local police station in Pragal - the police officers accepted to start their work on the street.
