police substations (Police Substation One, Police Substation Two, Police Substation Three,

Police Substation Four and Police Substation Five) and five rural districts (Khanabad,

Aliabad, Qala e Zal, Imamsaheb and Chahardara) of Kundoz province. It aimed to establish

interaction, trust and cooperation between police and community. This report focused on

since 1.October- 30 December 2012.

Summary of Project Activities:

Police Training:

ACSFo conducted 76 police trainings for 330 policemen

in Kundoz province. The trainings were aimed to

capacitate the police in rules, regulations and

Afghanistan police law. Majority of the police

personnel are not professional and have also not

attended any major police institution as of police

academy. The only intention for them to join the police

unit is earning money and feeding their family

members. They knew how to fight against afghan

government opposite groups but unfortunately they

did not understand the main duties of police and

citizen rights which resulted to misbehave with

community during their security operations, this

problem created major obstacles between the police

and community and the community started to have

negative notions and mindsets of the police behavior

and understanding. Therefore, it was a dire need to

have a much disciplined and well behaved police in

order to establish a healthy relationship with the

community. The following messages were delivered to

the police by using different tools such as participatory

method, flipchart, group work, answer and question

and energizer which enabled them to receive the

community police messages well.

Reportedly from field, after conducting police training

the legal awareness of police men are raised and they

understood that police has the responsibility to provide

individual and social security and protect people constitution rights and freedoms.

Currently the usual police members respect the culture of local community during security

operation as well as the community support police.

Radio Talk:

ACSFo has conducted two radio talks that in

which the police commanders and

community delegates of police substation

one, police substation two, Imamsaheb and

Aliabad districts have participated. In the

radio talk, police security challenges,

achievements and community concerns

were discussed and it highlighted the

available solutions of police and community

working together.

In the radio talk the police assured people

about police ability in providing security and catching criminals in the remote villages.

They expressed that since starting community policing project the capacity and behavior of

police are upgraded but they complained from prosecution departments for releasing the

criminals by them. Moreover they requested from local community to support police to

provide better security in the field as the Afghanistan security problem can’t be solved

through military forces except the closed cooperation of people.

The Radio Talk with Police Substation One, Police Substation Four Police and Community Delegates


33

In the radio talk, the community delegates admired police hard work in imposing security

and as well stated that the police behavior have changed and improved since starting

community policing project in their districts. They were worried about existence of illegal

gun men in the ground and required from police to take action against them. At the end

they proposed to police to behave similarly with all community members during their

security missions and also should not accept the intermediation of anybody for releasing

criminals, which this issue can help both police and people to be closed with each other.

Challenges and Recommendations:

Challenges Recommendations

It is difficult for the community members in the districts to understand the main tasks of NWC and SC members and distinguish their functions with each other.

It is good to combine these two committees to function as one member body with new job profile.

The Kundoz police head quarter where all the police are being directed to educations and missions but they do not have an information centre as a reference point for all Kundoz police staff.

A police resource centre is required to establish and equip with furniture, computer and various informative books which could function as a base of information for all Kundoz police staff.

Sport plays a medicine role in improving physical and mental statement of police to do their tasks well but they don’t have sports clothes.

The Kundoz police need to be supplied sport dresses with lithographed community policing messages.

The female students are being taunted by spray youths during commuting schools in Kundoz province.

A suggestion box for police should be installed in the individual female accessible schools and as well it requires explaining the concept of community policing project.
