THE proposed 10,000 personnel to be recruited into the police will form the foundation for the beginning of community policing.
Chairman, Senate Committee on Police Affairs Abu Ibrahim said this yesterday.

He said this while addressing reporters on the lifting of suspension of recruitment of the 10,000 personnel into the police.
He explained that nine personnel would be recruited per local government.
Those recruited, he said, would be used to form a unit for community policing in all 774 local governments.
The senator noted that it was expected that in the next three years, 30 police personnel would have been recruited per local government for the community policing initiative.
