Rabbi Saturn is expected to emphasize in his remarks that if the erosion in police salaries continues, no new candidates will be recruited.


Police Commissioner Yaakov Shabtai will participate in the Knesset's Internal Security Committee's discussion on the issue of police manpower shortages at noon (Tuesday).

The commissioner will require committee members to support raising the salaries of young and junior police officers, whose salaries are low.

As reported in "Israel Today", most of the damage is to patrol officers who are involved in maintaining public order and law enforcement.

Data obtained by "Israel Today" shows that 625 scouts are currently missing from the police, which is about 15% of all scout standards at police stations.

"This is an insane amount," said a senior police official, emphasizing: "There are stations where a third of the patrol is missing."

Police commissioners are not happy to appear in Knesset committee hearings, but recently the commissioner has been required to appear before MKs time and time again in an attempt to persuade them to improve police conditions. At the same time he warned that for him, the repeal of the section would lead to the abandonment of the police.
