Greek police equipment upgrades are coming in 2021, in response to both the coronavirus pandemic and external security threats, announced General Secretary for Public Order Konstantinos Tsouvalas on Thursday, according to ANA.
In 2021, a budget of 23 million euros will help procure specific operational vehicles: some 40-80 police cars with specially fitted cabins for the transportation of Covid19-positive detainees, 4 special ambulances, 5 armored vehicles, and 4 special operations vehicles will also become available, with the latter two types designated for operations similar to those observed at the Greek-Turkish border in March 2020, Tsouvalas pointed out.
