The Afghan Ministry of Interior announced a ten-year strategic plan at a press conference on Monday.
The plan involves the establishment of a sturdy and reliable framework to address several of the the country's glaring problems: lack of law enforcement, a clear understanding and awareness of laws, and trust.
"This is a ten-year plan aiming to inform police forces of their duties and how to enforce the law so everyone benefits. The most important task, however, is to increase the people's trust and reliance on the country's police forces." said Siddiq Siddiqi, the Interior Ministry spokesman.
The hope is to bring the national, local and community police under one framework, Siddiqi added.
Meanwhile, police officers receiving training in Turkey have returned. Around two-thousand police officers total will receive professional trainings from Turkey, Egypt, India and other countries.
"This year we were able to send around 2,000 Afghan police to European countries, India, and Turkey," said Siddiqi. "We already have programs lined up for next year's trainings."
Lack of professional police training and equipment for the program has been a great challenge.
