Police to Stop Issuing National Guard Reservist Invitations Ending Six-Month Transition
The Cyprus police will cease issuing individual invitation sheets to National Guard reservists, following a decision by Police Chief Themistos Arnaoutis. This change ends the longstanding practice where police officers were responsible for notifying and delivering military summons documents to reservists.
Under the previous system, local police stations informed reservists to collect their documents, which required attendance for military exercises. The process faced repeated criticism from police union members, who argued that officers, already burdened with increased duties, should not handle military-related notifications.
A directive sets a six-month transitional period during which police will still perform document issuance at crossing points, airports, and ports until February 28. After this date, the responsibility will be fully transferred away from the police, allowing the army time to implement an alternative system for notifying reservists.
