The cantonal government had decided to change the recruitment procedure in order to allow the cantonal police to recruit sufficient young people, it said in a statementexternal link on Tuesday.“The high personal demands placed on police trainees remain unchanged,” it added.
The cantonal government pointed out that in order to be able to hire enough new recruits, many police forces, including in Graubünden, had adjusted or abolished various requirements such as minimum height and age in recent years.
The Graubünden cantonal police force has around 400 officers. Each year 15-25 trainees complete their training.
