| In line with the modernisation programmes of the Malta Police | Force, the Management and Personnel Office of the Office of the Prime Minister has today issued an internal call for application for the engagement of Immigration Officers to carry out duties at Passport Control Points at Malta International Airport, the Seaport and the Yacht Marina. |
| This call for application is not only open to Government emploiyees | carrying out clerical or related activities but also industrial grades, as long as the selection criteria set out in the call for applications are met. To complement this, a comprehensive training programme is being designed by the Home Affairs Division in conjunction with the Management Efficiency Unit, Office of the Prime Minister, in order to provide the necessary re-skilling and re-training to allow the successful candidates to perform competently and effectively in their new appointment. |
| The selected candidates will replace more than 100 Police officers | currently carrying out clerical duties at passport control points. The management of this function, however will be retained by the Police Force. As a consequence of this, police presence will be limited and only allowed for certain executive activities, such as arresting and searching. The Police officers released from these duties are to be redeployed to carry out duties directly related to policing, thus strengthening areas such as the drug squad, criminal investigation, road patrol and other protective and preventive services. |
| The main objective of this exercise is to releive police officers | from extraneous duties to enable them to concentrate on purely police work. The change process also addresses all major operational aspect of the Force, however this major step in the civilianisation programme of police duties is only one of the many forthcoming activities which are intended to lead to the modernisation of the Malta Police Force. |
