PALERMO – The city council of Palermo has approvedlast April 23rd, the resolution for fixed-term employment (one year, ed.) of thirty category C municipal police officers.
The agents, today, April 30, they will carry out medical examinations at the Polyclinic and they will sign the contract. In this way they will be operational immediately. The choice was made because if it had gone beyond April 30th we would have had to wait for the final balance sheet and it would have postponed the hiring by a few months.
The agents they were selected through recruitment using the rankings of public competitions approved by other administrationsin particular from the municipalities of Carini, Cefalù and Termini Imerese, who have expressed their availability.
The measure was implemented using a 2003 law which allows public administrations to “fill available positions, within the limits of their staffing, using suitable candidates from the rankings of public competitions approved by other administrations in the same bargaining sector”.
For the fixed-term hiring of the thirty police officers, the sums allocated are approximately one million and 200 thousand euros. In this way, the municipal police workforce, even if for just one year, will go from 832 to 862.
Falzone: “There is a need to increase the number of police”
“We have given priority to the province of Palermo. We will try to fill as many positions as possible.” he has declared Dario Falzonepersonnel councilor of the municipality of Palermo.
“The administration is trying in every way to implement the police in Palermo taking advantage of ministerial funds. It is clear that there is a need to increase the number of police in the city. We will seein the next months, if there will be the possibility of increasing the number by taking advantage of ministerial funding.”
CGIL: “Give priority to those who are already there”
There FP Cgil Palermo intervenes in the hiring of new staff to strengthen the municipal police force.
“There are 170 traffic policemenat the municipal command of Palermo, who they are still waiting for full time and are still at 30 hours. Yes to new hires, but first the right of priority is respectedreserving 50 percent of the positions for internal staff” he states Saverio Ciprianoresponsible for local authorities for FP Cgil Palermo.
“The contracts of part-time firefighters serving the municipal police should be increased to 36 hours within this year but this has not yet been done. The Municipality cannot hire from outside unless internal contracts are first transformed into 36 hours.”
“We ask that the administration moves within a hiring plan and with the reservation of places, as required by the law for hiring in public administrations. We have already seen what is happening in the past for other figures such as technicians and social workers, hired without respecting the rules set out in the public administration hiring plans”.
“Now they could have put out a call for 30 traffic policemen and reserved 15 positions internally, giving career opportunities to staff already in service. Instead they preferred to choose 30 fixed-term policemen from the rankings of other municipalities, who will then have to be stabilized. While there are internal staff who stay for 30 hours.”
