Moderators Moderator_02 Posted January 3, 2021 Moderators Share Posted January 3, 2021 Quote Over 4,000 police promotions while pandemic reigns Posted 02/01/2021 At year-end, the National Police (PN)carried out a total of 4,001 promotions among officers, and on December 30, director, Jorge Miranda, raised 12 sub-commissioners to the category of commissioners, the highest rank that the institution has by law. Meanwhile, 30 majors become deputy commissioners. This means that only in the PN there will be a total of 286 commissioners and deputy commissioners who earn monthly income between $3,100 and $7,000. Some commissioners even earn more than this figure. Miranda himself, for example, has an income of $10,094 dollars (adding bonuses for seniority and title) reports La 30 captains, became majors while 393 lieutenants reached the rank of captain. https://www.newsroompanama.com/news/over-4000-police-promotions-while-pandemic-reigns-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Moderator_02 Posted January 3, 2021 Author Moderators Share Posted January 3, 2021 Quote Mediocrity and servilty rewarded Posted 02/01/2021 In the midst of a crisis that continues due to consistent technical incompetence in handling the pandemic, the government gear continues to run over the country's economy. With figures that reveal unprecedented economic conditions, unemployment, and with the collapse of income, members of the National Police receive promotions that suppose the annual disbursement of tens of millions of dollars more in salaries for a questioned institution, whose effectiveness is far from being satisfactory. The raises are done automatically, an anachronism that, under the circumstances, is utter nonsense. Promotions should be based on a system of merit, expertise, aptitude tests, etc. But in Panama, the salary increase is hilariously automatic. And just like the cops, there are many more officials in the same comfortable situation. This is a prize for mediocrity and servility because a role says that it is mandatory to do so, regardless of whether there are conditions or not to occupy the position. The situation now worsens, because the money will not be enough and it will be necessary to borrow to pay those salaries. The word that best defines such self-confidence is none other than stupidity.
