Addis Ababa – The Federal Police Commission said it has embarked on comprehensive reforms aimed at having a modernized and well-trained security forces in the country.
This was revealed at the noon meeting held today in the presence of Demeke Mekonnen, Deputy Prime Minister, and other government officials, including members of the security forces.
In his opening speech, Federal Police Commissioner General Endashaw Tassew noted that the far-reaching reform that has been underway in the country over the last two years has faced challenges due to the illegal activities of some elements and anti-peace groups in different parts of the country.
“This situation has placed an additional burden on our security forces and their companies,” Endashaw said, adding that currently, the demand for better security forces and police services in the country has become critical.
The commission has come to realize that the current challenges they face, particularly due to recurring violence, would not be handled effectively and sustainably with the existing structural system, according to the Commissioner General.
Therefore, the Federal Police has undertaken activities that aim to build a professional, modern and well-trained security force that efficiently prevents current challenges through fundamental structural change, he stressed.
“Since the beginning of the reform, concrete results have been obtained, especially to prevent various conspiracies and violent activities attempted by some anti-peace elements,” he said.
Structural reforms include human development, capacity building, better logistics supply, and equipping security forces with modern technologies, among others.
