Former Ranger Officer: It takes maturity test for the new cops, not every 18-year-old to be admitted to the police.

A police official allegedly accidentally injured a family member in the village of Dubrava in Istog.

Former police officer Visar Rrecaj said the new officers are very often abusing the official weapon. He demanded that the maturity test be added to any person who wants to become part of the Kosovo Police.

The “I've been passing the case on to Zlatar, and this is being made by new police officials. I think that Kosovo police are good at refocusing the age criteria, not every 18-year-old getting into the police, commitment is 23 and 24 are immature. I need to focus on the recruiting procedure, no matter what we've passed the psychological test, we have to do another test of maturity, the youth level of maturity is very low, so these cases have happened. In the Zolar case, we're talking about young police officers, even young people, are abusing the official weapon, it's forbidden to use”, he said at RTV Dukajini.

“There is room for rerun of the legal structure. At the police age of 18 to 30 years of age with police officers, today a 27-year-old is mature as an 18-year-old 30 years ago. Maturity is low despite the years these boys and girls have. Even in this case, the prosecution acts with precise urgency, these damages are irreparable. You can say sorry, because the consequences are irreparable”, he said.
