In the country


Over the past three days, senior officers announced the termination of their term • Media devil dance on the subject since he was no less shameful • Instead of receiving words of thanks and appreciation, they received a weak voice of voice • It makes no sense that officers retire from service to be with family • Interpretation

Police on Monday announced the intent of senior officers in the rank of retired officer to retire from the police service. Superintendent Gadi Sisso, head of the Investigations and Intelligence Division, asked to retire after 33 years of service. Avi Edri, head of the traffic division, asked to terminate his service in light of personal circumstances after 30 years of police service.

So far, a world as is customary. Officers come into very senior key positions, sacrificing over three decades of their lives in intensive positions with tremendous responsibilities. Each police commissioner has a round of personal conversations with his senior commanding staff in preparation for a round of appointments he plans, and the officers express their wishes, including retiring.

As far as they are concerned, they have done their utmost, have reached a feeling of exhaustion, seek to devote more time to their families and perhaps also to their home. It is the nature of a world, so things are going on, the way they have been going and so they will continue to run in the future.

And what's next? Thanks and appreciation, honors and farewell ceremonies. The police and the entire public should salute the officers and thank them for sacrificing their best years for the State of Israel, including the war on crime, the preservation of public order, defense of security.

That's what it should be, so it must be done by IDF champions. These are people who deserve our dignity and esteem. They deserve to retire loudly. But instead, why do they win?

What has happened in the last three days in some of the major media outlets in Israel is nothing short of disgraceful. With the release of the police statement that two extras out of 19 decided to retire from its ranks, starting with demons around the background for retirement.

"Shake the police" shouted a headline in one of the newspapers, "Surprising retirement" was written elsewhere, "Another hit to the police" was posted on one of the websites, and there were those who grew up doing and called their retirement an "earthquake."

This is obvious - it is inconceivable that officers approaching the age of 60 will want to retire from a simple service to rest and spend the first time in their lives with their families. There must be a conspiracy or a malicious plot. Maybe an investigation into the DIP, maybe conflicts at the top of the police.

Only one thing is for sure - must reveal the plaster! I, too, am a citizen of the state, and sometimes I also criticize the police, and when needed, I have also written in the past about celibacy and dismissals of shameful motives. But when there is no need and no reason, as in the present case, the need to get dirty and dirty at every opportunity is not an option.

To these officers, the public owes a huge debt that is not sure it can ever be repaid. However, their decision must be respected. They deserve to be honored and we are committed to giving it to them.

No one thinks that they will act like this to the IDF champions who finish their service, and we as a society should not allow such treatment of police officers. Despite the criticism and the functioning of the police, the public knows how important and critical the police are to the democratic character of the state.

It is in the interests of the entire society to strengthen the police, to lift them and to give them respect, the entire society will benefit from professional and powerful police. It is permissible to visit, may reveal irregularities. But you must not despise and must not go down to personal stripes.

Sisu and Sire Edari deserve to retire with respect - and they deserve it, not mercy

Ciso began his police service in a classified role in the Southern District in 1987, over the years he performed a number of core intelligence and investigative roles. In 2007, he first established the Police Signature Division. In 2013, he was appointed Commander of the Israel Police, the elite unit of the Israel Police to combat serious and international crime.

At the end of 2017, he was appointed Head of the Investigative and Intelligence Division, one of the most complex and sensitive positions in the police, which includes managing all police professional interfaces with the law enforcement system.

Edri joined the Israel Police in 1990 and has served in a number of operational core positions since then - Commander of Zichron Yaacov Station, Commander of Acre Station, Commander of Israel Police Officers and Haifa Station Commander.

In 2016, he was appointed Secretary of Public Security by Gilad Arden, and in 2018 he was promoted to the position of extras. In early 2019, he was appointed head of the traffic division, a position he will play until his retirement from the police.

Both officers have a glorious career that includes many years of valuable and meaningful service. Both officers knew the ups and downs, recorded significant successes and achievements. They both deserve to end their service with their head held high and their chest full of satisfaction and sense of mission.

And we - journalists and citizens alike, have to say only one word to them - thank you!
