Police official links alleged abuse in Lisbon stations to lack of family values

A PSP official stated that alleged torture and abuse in police stations are linked to a lack of family values, not the youth of officers. The director of PSP's Training Department suggested that insufficient family upbringing and values are a significant challenge for institutions, requiring continuous training and supervision to mitigate these issues. While PSP has a rigorous selection process, it cannot entirely prevent misconduct. The official also emphasized the importance of diversity within the police force for better community understanding and effectiveness.
