According to initial reports from the Hellenic Police, the incident began around 11:50 AM when the police received a call about a stolen vehicle outside the Acharnes Town Hall.

Following this, police officers from the DIAS unit spotted the vehicle and signaled for it to stop, but the driver did not comply.

The Citizen Protection Ministry is reportedly drafting a bill seeking the radical transformation of the Hellenic Police (ELAS).

The bill will introduce targeted interventions in the structure, organization and operation of ELAS in order to respond more effectively to modern challenges.

Domestic Violence Offices, which handle the majority of incidents, responded to 784 calls to the Domestic Violence Hotline last week, August 19-25. The number of female victims given the Panic Button app during this time was 147.

Greek police (EL.AS) have dismantled 14 criminal organizations operating in various areas of the country. Specifically, as part of the investigations, twelve criminal organizations involved in burglary and robbery were dismantled, one organization engaged in usury and extortion, and one organization involved in the production and distribution of forged documents.

An updated strategy for handling fan violence has been developed by the Ministry of Citizen Protection, which provides for the involvement of the National Intelligence Service (EYP) and the nation's counterterrorism authority.

Thirteen members of the Hellenic Police (ELAS) and a K-9 dog assisted the French authorities for the 2024 Olympics this summer.

The police officers' responsibilities included the detection of explosives, forged documents and the fight against illegal immigration.

The team consisted of four women and eight men and one liaison officer at the Center for International Cooperation.

The Hellenic Police announced on Monday that an officer reportedly responsible for vulgar social media posts had retired in 2021.

According to SYRIZA MP Elena Akrita, this is the person with whom MEP Nikos Pappas had an altercation via private Instagram messages.

The official statement from the Hellenic Police reads as follows:

A Roma man has been arrested for looting a house burned by the Attica fire in Penteli, police officers patrolling areas of northeastern Attica have said.

According to ERT, the man was arrested while removing items from a damaged house.

Staggering images are being captured in areas burned by the fire in northeastern Attica with firefighters trying to tackle the flames and police officers assisting them by extricating and evacuating residents who have no way to escape the fiery blaze.

In light of the major fire raging in northeastern Attica, ELAS issued a statement calling on citizens to avoid any movement to areas affected by fires and to follow, for their own safety, the instructions issued for evacuation of areas.
