The uniformed services have so far engaged more than 1,000 people under this government, with further recruitment in the pipeline, Home Affairs Minister Carmelo Abela said today.

He was speaking following a parade of the latest 55 recruits in the Armed Forces of Malta.

Dr Abela said further recruitment will be announced later this year in the AFM, the police, the Civil Protection Department and the Prison Service.

The minister added that the AFM was being modernised and €500,000 have been allocated for training this year, some of it in overseas military academies.
