464 New Police Officers Graduate

If police forces only concentrate on their duties, no power - including terrorists - can destroy Afghanistan, said Masood Ahmad Azizi, deputy Minister of Policy and Strategy in the Ministry of Interior (MoI).
 
Speaking at the fifteenth graduation ceremony of police officers on Sunday, he said “If policemen leave shopping and do their assigned duties, no one and no power can destroy our country.”
 
Referring to circumstances within the police force, Azizi said police salaries and equipment are being stolen. He criticized the force for its lack of good planning. “Officers don’t get their uniforms on time,” he said.
 
At the ceremony 464 new police officers graduated after six months of training. 
 
Police training commander, Sebghatullah Saaiq, said during investigations into and assessments of security departments many problems were found. “We found that police, instead of stopping crime, are responsible for crimes themselves,” Saaiq said.
 
At the ceremony, the police were also criticized for corruption among its forces and for the lack of good operational plans against terrorists.
 
“Discovering crimes, fighting against crimes, maintaining security and protecting people are the jobs of police,” said Abdul Raouf Enami, secretary of Wolesi Jirga (Lower House of Parliament).
 
Currently a total 150,000 of policemen make up the force. This includes numbers of so-called ghost soldiers.
