Police starts Saturday off

The City Police announced yesterday that it will introduce the
five-day work policy starting today as part of the first three-
month trial of the extra holiday.

During the period all sections under the administrative
affairs, including the public relations bureau, will close on the
last Saturday of each month, said Lt. Col. Latief Rabar, a
spokesman for City Police.

But sections dealing with the operational duties and public
services, such as the Vehicles Document Service, will remain
open.

"The policy applies to all directorates and precincts under
the supervision of the City Police," Latief said.

In the next quarter, the extra day-off day will include the
third and fourth Saturday of each month.

"By August next year the offices under the administrative
affairs will close every Saturday," Latief said. (bsr)
