“All I can say is that I have served the state, just as public officials have held various positions,” Ruck said.
He did not know the Minister of the Interior personally and he also had to pass a lie detector test.
“I can’t describe the procedure. I signed up for non-disclosure, but she was quite so relatively complex and definitely so interesting.”
Lots of intrigue around the police chief selection process. Three experienced and publicly known candidates had to pass months-long tests, but the hitherto unknown Ruks won.
The Minister explained that Ruka would be driven precisely because of his vision and professionalism. The “green light” of the Minister of the Interior was a surprise not only for Ruka, but also for his friends and acquaintances.
“Who is this Armands Ruks? That is the question. I can put my hand on my heart and say that I am a person who is honest. I cannot be bribed or influenced in any way politically. I am only about the development of the police, for police officers to receive decent pay, conditions, good facilities, infrastructure, facilities and innovative technologies. “
