It is announced that the police officer who died in the Mažeikiai district was not wearing armor.
According to S. Skvernelis, this is the equipment of each official.
“And the people who put an officer into service are responsible for ensuring that that officer is properly equipped. This is not the first such case with the death of an official in Telšiai County. Apparently, there are systemic problems in terms of the police station itself, “the prime minister told reporters at Seimas.
S. Skvernelis explained that this is not the first time that officers have received instructions, inadequate inspections, and the like.
“There are a number of problems that the Commissioner General should address,” he said.
According to S. Skvernelis, the responsibility must be assumed by the direct chief, the chief of the commissioner. He is responsible for ensuring that work is properly organized and that officials are properly protected.
“The tools are there, but if they are not worn, then there is no need to discuss whether they would have been saved, that is not the point.” If an officer has to use it, he must have some equipment when he goes to work, he must do it ”, emphasized the Head of Government.
Skvernel also said that the Commissioner General of Police is aware of the Government’s expectations regarding police reform.
“And, I think, they are taking the right steps in terms of staff specialization, which you mentioned. And those steps must be taken, “he said.
The Council of the Union of Peasants and Greens of Lithuania will take place in Naisiai this Friday. However, S. Skvernelis does not yet respond directly if it will participate in the Seimas elections.
“I have nothing to answer. I will be on the council as head of government. I will be very happy to speak,” he said.
When asked if he would participate in the elections, S. Skvernelis said that he had already replied.
