Soft loan for police officers like winning the lottery, only 25 out of 12

On March 11, applications for soft loans were opened, with 90 quotas being received by the Ministry of Interior.

For this year, from the allocation made by the Ministry of Interior, only 25 police officers out of 12,000 in total will have the opportunity to receive soft loans.

So, this year only 0.002% of police officers can receive soft loans. In other words, 1 in 500 police officers will benefit from soft loans.

15 quotas will be allocated for the guard, 10 for the AMP, while the other 40 quotas will be for the constituent apparatus of the Ministry of Interior and subordinate institutions.

The application for soft loans will be made on the e-albania portal. Based on certain criteria, points will be given to those who benefit and then the committee will decide.

Practically, one of the largest institutions in the country, the State Police, which has 12,000 employees, should also have the highest number of quotas.

In fact, when the changes were made to the law, it was stated that the largest beneficiaries would be police officers. This is the third year that this loan has been granted. In the first two years, the attention and focus has been on the State Police.

So, in the first year, 100% of the quotas went to this institution, where around 100 police officers in 2023 benefited from the soft loan, while in the second year they were divided between the State Police, the Republic Guard and the Police Supervisory Authority, a total of around 300 quotas.

Unlike previous years, when an official from the Police Directorate was also part of the Application Evaluation Committee, this time, the Evaluation Committees are led by the Ministry of Interior.

News24 has seen the documents drafted by the Ministry of Interior and what is noticeable is the fact that the application evaluation committees, including the technical secretariat in support of the complaints review committee, and the supporters of the Complaints Review Committee, consist only of employees of the Ministry and there are no names among them from the relevant institutions benefiting from the quotas./News 24
