Cyprus Police cancels recruitment for six specialized roles

On August 7, 2026, the Cyprus Police officially announced the cancellation of six recruitment notices for specialized positions, which were originally published in the Official Gazette on March 6, 2026. The decision, formalised under notifications 1474 through 1479 in the Official Gazette issue 5881, applies to positions related to marine and aerial units.

The canceled roles include positions for police boat captains, mechanical and electrical engineers for police boats, as well as mechanical, electrical, and operational roles for aerial assets. Authorities stated that the cancellation was driven by shifting operational requirements and an imminent change in the agency responsible for the specific duties associated with these roles.

Candidates who had already submitted applications for these vacancies will receive a full refund of their application fees. No further details regarding potential future recruitment or specific timelines for the restructuring of these units have been provided at this time.
