Following the incident in Valletta, where officers were injured while restraining an aggressive individual, the Malta Police Union wishes them a speedy recovery.

The Union has already offered and provided support to its members following this incident.

Policing is a high-risk and demanding profession. It is unacceptable that officers who put their safety on the line every day should remain without proper insurance protection.

The Malta Police Union reiterates its call for a comprehensive insurance scheme for police officers to be implemented without further delay. Those who protect our communities deserve protection and security for themselves and their families.

The Malta Police Union welcomes the newly announced improvements to the incentives for police officers who choose to remain in the Force.

The new measures provide that:

• Officers who remain in the Force for an additional four years will see their pension increase from 23% to 29%.

• Officers who continue serving beyond the additional four years can now benefit from a yearly lump-sum payment for up to six years, compared to the previous limit of four years.

The Union welcomes these improvements, which provide greater recognition and incentives for officers to remain in the Force.

The Union had also proposed that the pension increase during the first four additional years should be incremental, with the percentage increasing each year, in order to make the scheme more attractive to officers.

Furthermore, the Union had proposed stronger safeguards for pension entitlement once 25 years of service have been completed.

Introductory Meeting with Hon. Glenn Bedingfield.

The Malta Police Union recently held an introductory meeting with the Hon. Glenn Bedingfield.

During the meeting, a number of matters of importance to police officers were discussed, including the implementation of a health insurance scheme, further improvements to the protection of pensions for long-serving officers, as well as the possibility of staggering the current percentage increase in pensions.

The Malta Police Union remains committed to safeguarding the rights, wellbeing and interests of its members and looks forward to continued discussions and collaboration on these important issues.

Today, we bid farewell to Fr. Raymond as he celebrates his final Mass as Police Chaplain, marking the end of an incredible 34-year journey of dedicated service to the Malta Police Force.

For police officers and their families, Fr. Ray was much more than a Chaplain. He was a friend, a trusted confidant, a source of comfort and strength, and someone who was always there when he was needed most.

Throughout the years, his compassion, dedication and genuine care touched the lives of countless members of the Force and their families.

Thank you, Fr. Ray, for 34 years of devoted service, dedication, compassion and friendship. 🙏

Yesterday’s tragic incident, in which two police officers were injured after being shot while carrying out their duty, one critically, once again highlighted the serious risks faced by members of the Police Force every day.

The introduction of 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒉 𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒎𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑷𝒐𝒍𝒊𝒄𝒆 𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒄𝒆 has long been a proposal advocated by the Union and was also included as a commitment in the newly elected Government’s electoral manifesto.

Following yesterday’s incident, this commitment has taken on even greater importance. We look forward to engaging with the Government and the responsible Minister to ensure that this important measure is progressed and implemented as soon as reasonably possible.

Our thoughts remain with our injured colleagues and their families. We wish them strength and a full recovery.

The Malta Police Union is deeply humbled by the overwhelming support and solidarity shown towards our colleagues following today’s tragic events. We are equally grateful to everyone who immediately responded to the appeal to donate blood, demonstrating once again the compassion and unity of our community.

We also wish to inform the public that further assistance will be required in the coming days, and we kindly encourage continued support as needed.

The Malta Police Union also wishes to express its sincere appreciation to all police officers and emergency responders who attended the scene. Despite the extremely difficult and distressing circumstances they encountered, they continued to carry out their duties with the utmost professionalism, courage and composure, ensuring the safety of the public while supporting their injured colleagues.

Their dedication and commitment are a credit to the Malta Police Force.

At the same time, the Malta Police Union strongly urges everyone to refrain from speculation regarding the ongoing case and to avoid linking this incident to political discussions or agendas.

Out of respect for those involved, their families, and the ongoing investigations, we appeal for restraint, responsibility and unity during this difficult time.
