Jānis Dombrava wrote that there was recently a ceiling plaster fall in the Jēkabpils police department, and work in the building was halted. He pointed out that the building had been in poor condition for years, even though several tens of thousands of euros had been spent on its maintenance each year, including staff salaries. Over a few years, the expenses had reached approximately one hundred thousand euros, he wrote. After visiting the building, Dombrava expressed that its condition indicated systematic negligence on the part of those responsible. He emphasized that the management system of the Properties State Agency must be changed immediately, as well as the person in charge of the building. Dombrava stated that a meeting with the responsible institutions is planned for next week to discuss solutions for improving the working conditions of the Eastern Zemgale department. He also pointed out that police officers must be provided with a safe and proper working environment. #Jēkabpils #Policija #Drošība (translated)
