Beyond a 'decent' facade, the Msida police station is a “disgrace of a workplace fit for no one,” the Malta Police Union said on Friday.

The union, which had previously released photos of the St Julian’s and Valletta police stations, said the Msida premises are not fit for police officers who spend 12-hour shifts there and do not provide a welcoming environment for citizens.

In scenes similar to St Julian’s and Valletta, the Msida station photos show offices furnished with old and beaten-up furniture, exposed electrical wires, and crumbling walls and ceilings.

The union also said that, with reference to some works being done in other stations which it had already highlighted, it will be following these up to ensure that this is not a “cosmetic exercise in a quick reaction.”
