Faulty radios impair security

Police radios used by units guarding sensitive locations in Athens, such as the US Embassy, the Athens Appeals Court and the residence of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, Maximos Mansion, are faulty or don't work at all, and this situation is raising security concerns, according to senior Greek Police (ELAS) officials who spoke to Kathimerini.
A report last July drafted by a senior riot unit officer said that the problem of malfunctioning radios has impacted police units across the entire Attica region.
The problem, the report said, lies "with the operation of the portable radios which can receive signals from the center of operations but they cannot transmit, and as a consequence officers cannot report an incident," the report said.
The official warned said that this "creates huge and insurmountable communication problems which may have unforeseen consequences."
