RWANDA NATIONAL POLICE (RNP)

Ministry of Local Government

 RNP HISTORY

Prior to and immediately after the Rwandan Patriotic Front and Army (RPF/A) liberated Rwanda
on 4th July 1994, Rwanda had several Para-military and Civil defense forces entrusted to keep
law and order. These included the Gendarmerie Nationale under the Defense ministry, the
Communal Police under the Ministry of Interior and the Judicial Police Inspectors under the
Ministry of Justice.

In the year 2000, the Government of Rwanda thought it wise to have an organized, well
coordinated and professional police force that would effectively deal with security challenges
that were relatively high at the time. This led to the merger of the three institutions in June 2000,
which had the Policing and law and order functions at the time, forming the Rwanda National
Police (RNP). Law No 09/2000 of June 16, 2000 determines the powers, responsibilities,
organization and functioning of the institution as amended later by the law No 46/2010 of 14th
December, 2010.

The RNP as a proactive force is built on the core values of professionalism, patriotism, integrity
and high level of discipline. When RNP came into being in 2000, its first priority was to
consolidate safety and security, which had been lacking under the previous governments
culminating into the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. To do this, so much investment was made
in promoting the values of selfless service, professionalism and efficiency in overcoming crime
and enabling a safe environment;

Currently, RNP has gone far beyond the traditional methods of policing to make the people
understand their role in crime prevention. In 15 years, the force is founded on strong
partnerships with the public in fighting crime. These partnerships are evident today through the
promotion of core values of security and safety, spearheaded through community policing that
enables police officers and civilians to share critical information that is used to overcome crime.

For the very first time in the history of Rwanda National Police, a ‘Police Book’ was launched on
July 31 2014, documenting policing triumphs in the post-genocide period and tribulations dating
as far back as the colonial and post-colonial era;

RNP has been actively engaged in peace Support Operations since 2005. Today, the force
deploys in six UN missions and New York with over 925 officers deployed as Individual Police
Officers (IPOs), Formed Police Units (FPUs) and Police Professionals.

The force has three (3) Police Training Schools, a Police college offering bachelors and post
graduate degrees and a center of excellence in Peace Support Operations at Gishari Police
Training School where pre-deployment courses and conducted for the police officers of the
region.

SEYCHELLES POLICE FORCE (SPF)

Ministry of Local Government

 SPF HISTORY

The Seychelles Police Force was first established in 1775 when a group of fifteen soldiers were
sent on the MAIN ISLAND of Mahe from Mauritius to perform quasi-military duties. This system
continued until 1802 when it faded out and there were practically no officers on the island.

In answer to a petition of 1822 from the inhabitants of Seychelles for some arrangements to be
made for internal security, the Governor had authorised the dispatch of 17 gendarmes to the
colony. With the three men who were already on the island the Force was made up of twenty
men. The Force was under the direction of the Civil Agent. However, this did not last for long.
The Force was reduced in 1827 to one brigadier and four men only and in 1832 to two
gendarmes. Civil agent Harrison could not find any local volunteers to perform Police duties and
he enlisted one Joseph Thompson and one Dill who were both discharged seamen. A year later
Thompson gave up his duties and his vacancy was filled by a slave known as ‘Castor’ who was
given the rank of ‘Commandeur’. He was a leader for a gang of maroons and was wanted. He
gave himself up and was employed to capture his comrades.

In 1834 with the ABOLITION OF SLAVERY there were wild ORGIES of drunkenness and it was
necessary to increase the strength of the Force. There were five gendarmes at that time and
seven special police was recruited from the public.

In 1862 the landslide destroyed the existing Police Station at Central with all its records. Details
are lacking from then but it is clear that the strength of the Force increased and by 1879 there
were 45 officers. On the 7th January 1950 the existing Police Headquarters was officially
opened by his Excellency Dr P.S Selwyn Clarke, Superintendent A. E Burt, Superintendent P.
Roger de Speville and K.J Tomlin the architect.

In 1876 decision was taken to build Police Stations at Port Glaud, Anse Aux Pins and
Takamaka. The sum voted to do that was £120. However, it is not clear exactly when it was built
but by 1901 it already existed along with other stations such as Baie Lazare, Bel Ombre and
Grand Anse Praslin. The Anse Royale and La Digue Police Stations were built in 1960. In
1961 the Mont fleuri Police Station was built.
In 1879 a new scheme was proposed to attract better educated recruits. The plan for the Police
Force was to consist of the officers below and with it the proposed salary per year. The rates
came into force in 1880.

According to a colony’s report of 1902 the strength of the police Force had reached a total of
Seventy-nine officers. In addition to the Central Police Station there were twelve other stations.
By 1947 there were eighty-nine officers.

Before 1966 the head of Police was Chief Police officer and in 1966 it was changed to
Commissioner of Police.

 Sierra Leone

SIERRA LEONE POLICE (SLP)

Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development

 BRIEF HISTORY OF THE SIERRA LEONE POLICE

The Sierra Leone Police Force is the brainchild of the British Government. Its inception dates
back to 1808 when Freetown was declared a British Crown Colony. In the absence of any
formal organised body to keep the peace, some retired British Non-Commissioned Officers and
Privates were appointed by Magistrates to come to Sierra Leone to maintain law and order.

Between 1863 -1888, the then Police Force had metamorphosed in order to address the ugly
incidents which were rearing their heads especially during the 1881 Koya and 1888 Sherbro
disturbances. These disturbances led to the deployment of Police along the frontier. In 1889,
therefore, the Police Force was divided – Military and Frontier duties were taken over by the
FRONTIER POLICE, while Civilian duties were left with the Civilian Police. The Frontier Police
subsequently became known as the COURT MESSENGER FORCE, and were made
responsible for the PROTECTORATE while the Civilian Police were made responsible for the
colony.

On the 27th October, 1894, in the Royal Gazette of that date, the Civilian Police in the Colony
were given the designation `The Sierra Leone Police Force` – (SLPF), which has remained
unchanged to this day. Captain V.F. LAPHAN was seconded from the Army to control the Police
Force, with the rank of Superintendent, and Mr. BROOKS, a Metropolitan Police Officer, was
appointed Inspector of Police to assist him. He eventually succeeded Captain Laphan as the
Superintendent of Police. In 1909, Superintendent Brooks was appointed the first Commissioner
of Police. It was during his tenure of office that the first Police Band was formed out of
subscriptions made by members of the Force and Local firms for the purchase of the
instruments, although the band was dissolved in 1913 as a result of a dispute. No real
significant strides took place in the Force until MR. C.H. WARD, (O.B.E.), Superintendent of
Police from Nigeria, took over command of the Force as Commissioner of Police from Captain
P.T. BRODIE, (D.S.O.,M.C) in 1943. The strength of the Force was 300, including two (2)
expatriates, the Commissioner and the Assistant Commissioner. Africans filled the rest of the
ranks. The serious civil disturbances led to the quick introduction of the RIOT SQUAD which
was subsequently trained to contain further riots. MR. WARD raised the strength to 600 and this
created a welcome and overdue increase in promotion chances. For the first time, Africans were
promoted to the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) and fleet of vehicles
comprising cars, Lorries, motor cycles and bicycles were obtained. He started the first proper
Training School at Port Loko in 1944, which was later transferred to the Naval Camp at
Hastings; where it stands to this day. He also started and got going the present Police Band;
introduced a Pigeon Communication System between Police detachments and eventually
replaced this by a Police Wireless Communication System which today covers the whole
country.

MR. WARD was succeeded by J.P.I FORDE who raised the strength to 1,000, sent the first
African Sub-Inspector to train at Henden; which continued thenceforth. He introduced the first
proper FORCE STANDING ORDERS (F.S.O.) the Police FEDERATION AND POLICE
COUNCIL.

In 1952, MR. W.G. SYER (C.B.E.) took over and wasted no time in taking policing to the
provinces which resulted in its expansion. He affiliated the Police Force to International Police
Organisation (INTERPOL) and disbanded the RIOT SQUAD, thereby introducing a system in
which every Police Officer was taught riot duties no matter what section of the Force he may be
attached to.
Between 1963 -1969, MR. L.W. LEIGH became the first Sierra Leone Commissioner of Police.
Under his leadership, a POLICE ACT was established in 1964; which was meant to consolidate
and amend the laws relating to the Sierra Leone Police Force i.e. the protection of life and
property, the prevention and detection of crime and the apprehension of offenders etc.

Between 1969 and 1972, MR. JENKINS N.E.G. SMITH became the second Sierra Leonean
Commissioner of Police who led the Force through Republic in 1971. In 1970, in order to
consolidate his power, late President Siaka Probyn Stevens created another arm of the Sierra
Leone Police Force known as Internal Security Unit (I.S.U.). The ISU later came to be known as
the Special Security Division (SSD) – an armed unit mandated to quell riots and other related
disturbances. However, before this time, the Sierra Leone Police Force had been playing a
neutral role in the performance of their duties thereby gaining credit from the civil populace.

Politics started creeping into Police functions when Sierra Leone entered into Republican
Status. The uniform at that time consisted of grey shorts and grey jacket with black shoes and
commerband. Section 174 of the Sierra Leone Constitution of 1978 changed the traditional role
of the Force by the appointment of the then Commissioner of Police, MR. P.C. KAETU-SMITH
(1973 – 1979) as one of the seven (7) appointed Members of Parliament by the Executive
President; thus politicising the role of the Police Force.

Between 1981 and 1984, Honourable P. C. Kaetu Smith was succeeded by Hon. J.A. GRANT

In 1986, Hon P.M. JOHNSON became the first Inspector General of Police. On the 1st of
January, 1987, the Force was re-divisionalized into Police Divisions, each division being
represented by letters ranging from `A` to `N` and each division commanded by a Chief Police
Officer (CPO). These were further sub-divided into Police Districts and placed under the
command of an Officer Commanding Districts (O/C) who may be a Deputy Superintendent of
Police or Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP). The entire country was divided into fourteen
(14) Divisions. The Western Area was divided into four Divisions, namely A, B, C and D
Divisions. The Northern Province was also divided into four (4) Divisions namely E, F, G and H
Divisions; Southern Province three (3) divisions – I, J. and K Divisions and Eastern Province,
three (3) Divisions – L, M and N Divisions.

In 1987, Hon. James Bambay Kamara succeeded MR. P.M. JOHNSON. In December, 1991, in
a bid to redeem the good image of the Sierra Leone Police Force which had been seriously
dented by politics, the British Government sent Mr. KEITH LEWIS, a retired British
Superintendent of Police to restructure the Force. Series of Police courses were then introduced
into the curriculum in order to enhance the force in policing a modern democratic society.
Training courses like Junior and Senior Management Courses, Trainers Course, Criminal
Investigations Department Course known as the YOKKSHIRE Course; to name but few, were
introduced. These Courses actually went a long way to restructure the Police.

However, this invaluable training programmes for Police were interrupted by the National
Provisional Ruling Council (NPRC) Coup of 29th April, 1992; during which, the then Inspector-
General of Police, Mr. James Bambay Kamara, who had increasingly become unpopular, was
executed. This political interregnum by the NPRC Junta saw the manipulation of the Police by
the Junta. Thus Police was caught in a dilemma; trying to maintain its role to its people and at
the same time satisfying the Junta. Police then became a `Force in Crisis`; until the emergence
of the democratically elected Government of Dr. Ahmad Tejan Kabbah in 1996.
Mr Joe Stanley, who was Deputy Inspector General under Hon. James Bambay Kamara, was
appointed Inspector General by the Military Junta in 1992. He later went on leave and never
returned to continue on his assignment.

Mr. Walter O. F. Nicol succeeded Mr. Joe Stanley as Inspector General in 1993.

Between 1994 and 1996, Mr William J. Siaffa, a retired officer, was recalled to assume the post
of Inspector General under the Junta. His Deputy, Mr. Teddy Munda Williams succeeded him as
Inspector General in 1996. He served in that capacity up to 1997 when the democratically
elected government of Dr. Ahmad Tejan Kabbah was overthrown on 25th May, 1997. He later
went abroad and never returned to continue his job as Inspector General.

All through the Military Regime of the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council [AFRC], Mr. Kandeh
Bangura took interim control of the Force; with the view to maintaining the structures of the
Police intact. Mr. Kandeh Bangura served in that tentative capacity up to 1999 when Mr Keith
Biddle was appointed the Inspector General by the Government of Dr. Ahmad Tejan Kabbah.

By this time, the public who regarded the Police as being corrupt completely lost confidence in
the Force. The Government of Dr. Ahmad Tejan Kabbah therefore solicited the services of the
British Government to help restructure the Sierra Leone Police Force. The British Government
responded by sending a Team known as the Commonwealth Police Development Task Force
(CPDTF) which was headed by Mr. KEITH BIDDLE, who was later appointed Inspector General.

Under the dynamic leadership of the British born Inspector General of Police, the Sierra Leone
Police Force gradually regained the confidence of the public by the introduction of a Change
Management Strategy` under what he called the `restructuring programme`. The purpose was
to make the Force become `A Force for Good`. The Restructuring Programme saw the
establishment of new Departments like: the Complaint Discipline and Internal Investigations
Department [CDIID], Media and Public Relations, Family support, Corporate Services,
Community Relations and Local Needs Policing introduced; among others. He also adopted a
`Leaner and Fitter` rank structure which reflects roles and responsibilities.

Mr. Brima Acha Kamara, who was in-charge of the Change Management, succeeded Mr. Keith
Biddle as Inspector General of Police in May 2003. Since he was responsible for Change
Management during the tenure of office of Mr. Keith Biddle, he took the opportunity to actualise
the formulated Sierra Leone Police Strategic Development Plan of 2002/2005. It was during his
tenure of office that the following senior ranks: Assistant Commissioner, Senior Assistant
Commissioner and Commissioner, were merged as one to become Assistant Inspector General
[AIG]. He came with the slogan – “No Turning Back“ to the bad old days.

In August 2010, Mr. Francis Alieu Munu and Mr. Richard Moigbe were appointed Inspector
General and Deputy Inspector General of Police respectively. Their appointments were really
greeted with jubilation. The present management under Mr. Francis Alieu Munu has started
effecting some administrative and operational changes in the Force. Ross Road Division has
been renamed Harbour Division, Transnational Organised Crime Unit [TOCU] has been formed
to address cross border crimes, Corporate Affairs and Community Affairs Departments have
also been established to address emerging issues, Special Assistant to the Inspector General
appointed to address administrative issues at Police Head quarters and the Assistant Inspectors
General are now Directors. The Force is presently blessed with a visionary leadership that value
its people and personnel.

SOUTH AFRICAN POLICE SERVICE (SAPS)

Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional

Affairs
 HISTORY OF SAPS

The South African Police Service traces its origin to the Dutch Watch, a paramilitary
organisation formed by settlers in the Cape in 1655, initially to protect civilians against attack
and later to maintain law and order. In 1795 British officials assumed control over the Dutch
Watch and in 1825 they organised the Cape Constabulary, which became the Cape Town
Police Force in 1840. In 1854 a police force was established in Durban which would become the
Durban Borough Police and in 1935 the Durban City Police (DCP).[11] Act 3 of 1855
established the Frontier Armed and Mounted Police Force in the Eastern Cape, restyled as the
Cape Mounted Riflemen in 1878.[12]

The South African Police was eventually created after the Union of South Africa in 1913. Four
years later, the Mounted Riflemen's Association relinquished its civilian responsibilities to the
SAP as most of its riflemen left to serve in World War I. The SAP and the military maintained
their close relationship even after the SAP assumed permanent responsibility for domestic law
and order in 1926. Police officials often called on the army for support in emergencies. In World
War II, one SAP brigade served with the 2nd Infantry Division of the South African Army in
North Africa.

When the National Party (NP) edged out its more liberal opponents in nationwide elections in
1948, the new government enacted legislation strengthening the relationship between the police
and the military. The police were heavily armed after that, especially when facing unruly or
hostile crowds. The Police Act (No. 7) of 1958 broadened the mission of the SAP beyond
conventional police functions, such as maintaining law and order and investigating and
preventing crime, and gave the police extraordinary powers to quell unrest and to conduct
counterinsurgency activities. The Police Amendment Act (No. 70) of 1965 empowered the police
to search without warrant any person, receptacle, vehicle, aircraft, or premise within one mile of
any national border and to seize anything found during such a search. This search-and-seize
zone was extended to within eight miles of any border in 1979 and to the entire country in 1983.

After the end of apartheid, the SAP was renamed the South African Police Service (SAPS), and
the Ministry of Law and Order was renamed the Ministry of Safety and Security, in keeping with
these symbolic reforms. The new minister of safety and security, Sydney Mufamadi, obtained
police training assistance from Zimbabwe, Britain and Canada and proclaimed that racial
tolerance and human rights would be central to police training programs in the future. By the
end of 1995, the SAPS had incorporated the ten police agencies from the former homelands
and had reorganized at both the national level and at the level of South Africa's nine new
provinces.

SOUTH SUDAN POLICE SERVICE (SSPS)

Ministry of Internal Affairs

South Sudan Criminal Investigation Department (CID)

 HISTORY
The South Sudan National Police Service (SSNPS) was built from scratch after the end
of the civil war between northern and southern Sudan. The process started in 2005 and
the police service gradually began assuming its responsibilities. The country had been
under martial law for almost 30 years.

Numerous challenges, however, are preventing the SSNPS from fulfilling its mandate
effectively. It does not possess adequate means of communication and therefore often
receives information about dangers when it is too late. It is not only the lack of
infrastructure and equipment that is making the work of the police more difficult; the poor
or even non-existent training exacerbates the problem. The people do not feel
adequately protected and often resort to alternative methods of protecting themselves or
taking the law into their own hands.

The South Sudan National Police Service (SSNPS) is able to ensure the upkeep and
management of a professional communications system and push ahead with the
establishment of a department for information and communication technology.

DILG:The Ministry of Police Affairs

History of Nigeria Police Force: Nigeria's police was first established in 1820 and it began
with officers from Imo State. The first person to have the highest rank in all the police is
commissioner general colonel KK.In 1879 a 1,200-member armed paramilitary Hausa
Constabulary was formed. In 1896 the Lagos Police was established. A similar force, the Niger
Coast Constabulary, was formed in Calabar in 1894 under the newly proclaimed Niger Coast
Protectorate. In the north, the Royal Niger Company set up the Royal Niger Company
Constabulary in 1888 with headquarters. When the protectorates of Northern and Southern
Nigeria were proclaimed in the early 1900s, part of the Royal Niger Company Constabulary
became the Northern Nigeria Police, and part of the Niger Coast Constabulary became the
Southern Nigeria Police. During the colonial period, most police were associated with local
governments (native authorities). In the 1960s, under the First Republic, these forces were first
regionalised and then nationalised.The NPF performed conventional police functions and was
responsible for internal security generally; for supporting the prison, immigration, and customs
services; and for performing military duties within or outside Nigeria as directed. Plans were
announced in mid-1980 to expand the force to 200,000. By 1983, according to the federal
budget, the strength of the NPF was almost 152,000, but other sources estimated it to be
between 20,000 and 80,000. Reportedly, there were more than 1,300 police stations
nationwide. Police officers were not usually armed but were issued weapons when required for
specific missions or circumstances. They were often deployed throughout the country, but in
1989 Babangida announced that a larger number of officers would be posted to their native
areas to facilitate police- community relations.

SWAZILAND

The Royal Swaziland Police

DILG: MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS

History of Royal Swaziland Police:

Formal policing in Swaziland can be traced back to the colonial era in 1907, when one Lord

Selborne, who was High Commissioner for South Africa, signed the Swaziland Administration

Proclamation which made provision for the formation of a Police Force.

The organization has continued to evolve and grow over the years, and in tune with the times,

also changed it’s identity from being a “Force” to a Service. On 8th April 1907 Captain C.H.

Gibson was appointed as Assistant Commissioner for Swaziland with Headquarters in

Mbabane. A contingent of 22 European Police officers was transferred from South Africa to
establish what was then known as the Swaziland Police Force. In addition, 125 African Zulus

from Natal were recruited to make the full complement of the establishment.

In 1927 the Resident Commissioner approved an increase of the establishment by six

constables and consequently a Police Training School was established in Mbabane. In 1965 a

modern training college was built in Matsapha. In 1967 the establishment was increased to 644

officers. In 1968 the Police Band was formed in preparation for the Independence celebrations.

After Independence and on the occasion of A Royal Review of the Swaziland Police Force

which took place at Matsapha Police College, His Majesty King Sobhuza II as Commander-In-

Chief, renamed the Police Force as the Royal Swaziland Police Force. The legal instrument that

established the Police Force is the Police Act No. 29/1957.

The organization is employed throughout the four regions of the country to :

a) Preserve peace

b) Protect life and Property

c) Prevent all incidents of crime and detect crime

d) Maintain law and order

SUDAN

The Sudan Police Force

HISTORY:

● people. They were allowed to hire a limited number of "retainers" to assist them in law
enforcement duties. This system was finally abolished by the Nimeiri government in the
early 1970s.
● Under Nimeiri, command and administration of the SPF was modified several times. The
police were responsible to the minister of interior until 1979, when the post of minister of
interior was abolished and various ministers were made responsible for different areas of
police work. This arrangement proved unwieldy, however, and the Police Act of 1979
instituted a unified command in which the head of the force reported directly to the
president. After Nimeiri's fall, the cabinet position of minister of interior was restored, and
the director general of police was made responsible to him.
● Central police headquarters in Khartoum was organized into divisions, each commanded
by a police major general. The divisions were responsible for criminal investigations,
administration, training, public affairs, passport control, immigration, and security affairs.
The main operational elements were the traffic police and the riot police. The 1979
legislation brought specialized police units, such as that of the Sudan Railways, under
the authority of the SPF headquarters. The Khartoum headquarters maintained liaison
and cooperation with the International Criminal Police Organization, Interpol, and with
agencies involved in combating international drug traffic.
● The government's new system of administration delThe Sudan Police Force (SPF) had
its beginnings in 1898 when a British army captain was placed in the central
administration for police duties, and thirty British army officers directly responsible to him
were detailed to organize provincial police establishments. The arrangement proved
overly centralized, however, and complete decentralization of police control was
introduced in 1901. As great differences arose in the standards and performance of the
police in the various provinces, a modified form of administrative control by the central
authorities was decreed in 1908, with the provincial governors retaining operational
 control of the forces. The SPF was officially established by the British in 1908 and was
absorbed by the Sudanese government on independence in 1956.
● It was technically and economically impractical for the police to cover the entire area of
Sudan; therefore, a system of communal security was retained for more than seventy
years. The central government gave tribal leaders authority to keep order among their
egated many powers to the regional level, but law enforcement outside major urban
areas remained provincially oriented. Thus, the national police establishment was
subdivided into provincial commands, which were organized according to the same
divisions found in the national headquarters. Local police directors were responsible to
provincial police commissioners, who in turn were responsible to the SPF director
general in Khartoum. Each provincial command had its own budget.
● The SPF expanded from roughly 7,500 officers and men at independence in 1956 to
approximately 18,000 in 1970 and 30,000 by the mid-1980s. Except for the south where
internal security in government-held areas was the responsibility of military and security
organs, the police establishment was distributed roughly in proportion to population
density but was reinforced in areas where there was a likelihood of trouble. In some
places, the police were too thinly scattered to provide any real security. It was reported
that there were no police stations along the Nile from the town of Wadi Halfa on the
Egyptian border south to Dunqulah, a distance of about 300 kilometers. Elsewhere in the
north, police posts could be staffed by as few as two police with insufficient transport or
communications equipment to patrol their district. Efforts to control smuggling were
apparently the responsibility of the armed forces and the security authorities.
● Police officer cadets usually received two years of training at the Sudan Police College
near Khartoum. The institution was equipped to provide theoretical and practical
instruction; it also served as a training school for military personnel who required police
skills in their assignments. In addition to recruit training, the college offered instruction in
aspects of criminal law, general police duties, fingerprinting, clerical work, photography,
and the use of small arms. Enlisted recruits usually underwent four months of training at
provincial headquarters. Although not numerous, women served in the SPF in limited
capacities. They were generally assigned to administrative sections, to juvenile
delinquency matters, or to criminal cases in which female Sudanese were witnesses or
defendants. The Bashir government announced plans to remove women from the police,
but, according to one report, a number of women were actually promoted to higher
positions because of the mass firing of senior male police officers.
● Provincial police had traditionally enjoyed good relations with the community, but during
the Nimeiri regime many people regarded them more as the object of fear than as a
source of security. The police were said to have acted appropriately-- firmly but with
restraint--during civil demonstrations in the first half of the 1980s. Since the resumption
of civil war in 1983, serious abuses of human rights have not generally been attributed to
the police, as they have been to the armed forces, government militias, and security
organizations. Police treatment of persons under arrest could be harsh. Police patrols in
Khartoum have harassed or beaten people occasionally without apparent motive. Public
order campaigns in Khartoum, often targeting southern refugees, could result in
roundups of thousands charged with illegal street vending or loitering. In urban areas
 police reportedly often acted against refugees, stealing from them and beating them for
minor infractions. Refugees seldom had recourse to the legal system when attacked by
the police. The police were known to have inflicted floggings summarily for drinking
alcohol or for curfew violations. Brutality increased after the 1989 coup, but roundups
and floggings declined somewhat after officials of the Bashir government promised
closer supervision of the police.

COUNTRY and FLAG: ZAMBIA

Title of their National Police: Zambia Police Service

Equivalent of DILG and LOGO: Ministry of Home Affairs

History of their Police Service how it was formed:
In 1964, the republic of Zambia attained independence from the United
Kingdom. The constitution was laid out in 1973 and the republic was under the
functioning of the only authorized party prevalent at that time named the United National
Independence Party (UNIP). However, this monopoly came to an end in 1990, after
which the constitution was renewed.
The elections of 1991 brought to power the Movement for Multi-Party Democracy
(MMD) with its leader Levy Mwanawasa elected as the president in the year 2001. The
police force was established in Zambia in the name of Zambia Police or ZP in the year
1964. The Zambia Police comes under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Home Affairs.
The organization has an Inspector General of Police at the helm of affairs. After its
establishment, certain alterations were made in its badge with the removal of the
Crown.
The Zambia Police is often in limelight for violating the law during its general course of
functioning. As a regular practice, the police detain relatives of a suspect with the aim of
extracting information on the case. The women undergo this more commonly as they
breakdown faster emotionally. Over the years, the citizens of Zambia have got
accustomed to this style of working of the police and take this violation of human rights
in their stride. However, there are several agencies that are now trying to arouse
awareness amongst the citizens regarding this unlawful practice. The police of any
nation needs to instate and not break laws. The plea of the police authority on this front
is that women need to be taken into custody for questioning as the culprits mainly use
them to cover their crime, believing that a woman accomplice will fall under least
suspicion. The scenario seems to have changed for the better since the 1900s with the
organization re-christening itself as Police Service instead of Police Force.

The history of policing in Zambia begins in 1891 during the days of the British South
Africa Company (BSAC). The BSAC extended its rule over the territory north of the
Zambezi River with the extension of the jurisdiction of the Charter from the British
Crown.

Around that time the BSAC officials visited what was then the protectorate of
Barotseland (now the Western Province of Zambia) from Southern Rhodesia. The
officials were accompanied by a police detachment consisting of volunteers from India
who were supervised by white officers. Later, the police detachments were replaced by
drafts of Sikhs and Zanzibaris who were mainly non-commissioned officers while
Africans from.

COUNTRY and FLAG: ZIMBABWE

Title of their National Police and Logo: Zimbabwe Republic Police

Equivalent of DILG and Logo: Ministry of Home Affairs

History of their Police Organization, how it was formed:

The police force was created by Cecil John Rhodes's Pioneers when he was the
Prime Minister of the Cape Colony. Since Cecil John Rhodes had accumulated much
wealth through Diamond and Gold mining, he decided to invade the land between
Limpopo and Zambezi rivers with a view to acquire more wealth. In July 1890, he
recruited and trained 200 men, which became the British South Africa Company Police.
The ruthless unsympathetic attitude of Rhodes towards the lives of the blacks strongly
influenced the historical trend of the police force. The historic analysis of the occupation
of Zimbabwe by the imperialists represented by the ambitious Cecil John Rhodes
cannot be complete without talking about the Police. The police by then was called the
British South Africa Company Police [BSACP], which was established after the signing
of the Rudd Concession and the subsequent granting of the Royal Charter by the British
Government in 1889. William Bodle who became the Commissioner in 1903 mooted the
idea of the police in 1889. Lieutenant Colonel Penne Father led the Pioneer column into
this country in 1890. The column had over 500 strong policemen who acted as military
escort for the settlers. The police was deployed into troop systems that is, Troop up to
Troop, while Fredrick Courtney Selous led the advance party. The tenure of Colonel
Penne Father lasted until 1892 and Chief Commissioner, Charles White, succeeded
him.
In 1892, The British South Africa Company Police was disbanded and was replaced by
the Mashonaland Mounted Police and Mashonaland Constabulary Units. In fact, the
history of the force until 1903 could be divided into epochs with one being a quasi
military and the other being a military service which Gibbs [1972] referred to as blood
and thunder. The role of the police during this period was never civil, it was reactive
towards blacks but proactive towards whites. By 1895, the police had in its ranks black
people who were to be called black watchers [Mabhurakwacha] which literally meant
that they were responsible by virtue of them being black, to police their own kith and kin.
It eventually assumed derogatory connotations as it emphasised the inferiority with no
feelings at all.
Police as one of the instruments of maintaining the blacks in bondage had to be
remodelled to suit the needs of the black community. The repressive and tyrannical
image of the police had to be changed and tailored to suit the new political dispensation.
The leadership of the police was also taken over by the blacks just like what happened
in the Army and Air force. The Zimbabwe Republic Police was born in 1980 with the
integration of British South Africa Police, Auxiliaries, ZIPRA and ZANLA forces. Initially
there was friction among the once opposing groups but as time progressed, the
members began to develop a sense of togetherness and camaraderie. Some white
BSAP members who could not stomach the issue of being led by the blacks resigned
and went to South Africa.
There was an influx of blacks who were promoted to fill vacancies that had been left by
the Whites in what became known as Black Advancement. The first black
Commissioner of the newly created Zimbabwe Republic Police was Wiridzayi Nguruve
in 1982. He led the police up to year 1985 and passed on the baton to Mr Henry
Mukurazhizha who was subsequently succeeded by Cde Augustine Chihuri in 1993, the
incumbent Commissioner General of Police. The new breed of police officers therefore
had to gear themselves up to transform the image of the police, for the better. With that
idea in mind, in 1984, the police introduced the police community relations programme
that was tailored to suit the needs and aspirations of the community.
This was triggered by the then Prime Minister in 1984 of Zimbabwe; Cde. Robert
Mugabe when he delivered a keynote address at a passout parade in Morris Depot on
the need to incorporate the civil society in the policing process. It was about seeking the
needs of the community and being responsive in delivery of services, hence the
introduction of the programme of policing by consent rather than policing by coercion. A
circular was issued in May, 1986 that created the skeletal infrastructure and framework
for the implementation of the community relations scheme.

Country and flag: Sao Tome and Principe

National police agency and its logo: Sao Tome and Principe Police

Equivalent of DILG: Ministry of National Defense

History of police organization:

São Tomé and Príncipe were probably uninhabited volcanic islands when the
Portuguese landed there in 1471. In 1485, São Tomé was made a donatário
(concession) of João de Paiva; the donatário provided for de Paiva to administer and
profit by his administration of São Tomé according to Portuguese law. Subsequently,
São Tomé served as a slave station.
The islands were settled by a group of Europeans and their African slaves. In 1493,
2,000 Jewish children were taken to São Tomé in an effort to populate the islands and
raise the children as Christians, but by 1532 only 50 or 60 were left. It was Portuguese
policy to deport its criminals, degradados, and orphans to remote colonial areas, and
many of São Tomé's earliest male settlers came in this fashion. Female settlers were
more often African slave women, and from the ensuing marriages a large mestiço
population developed. A third group, separate from the European and mestiço
populations, consisted of Angolares, descendants of shipwrecked Angolan slaves.
By the mid-16th century, the islands were Africa's leading exporter of sugar. São Tomé
and Príncipe were taken over by the Portuguese crown in 1522 and 1573, respectively.
Eventually, sugar lost its commercial importance, but in the early 19th century, two new
cash crops, coffee and cocoa, were introduced, and by 1908 São Tomé had become
the world's largest producer of cocoa. Plantation slavery or slavelike contract labor
remained the basis of island labor for hundreds of years, and even when slavery
formally ended, in 1869, the plantations employed laborers "recruited" on "contract"
from other areas of Portuguese-speaking Africa. In 1906, Henry Nevinson published his
book, A Modern Slavery , which exposed the use of involuntary recruits, unacceptably
high labor mortality, and poor work conditions on the islands. The outcry resulted in a
boycott of São Tomé cocoa. The scandal occasioned some reforms, but oppressive
conditions continued. As late as 1953, the governor of São Tomé ordered Portuguese
troops to open fire on striking plantation workers, leaving nearly 1,000 people dead, an
action that aroused nationalist feeling.
A liberation group formed in the islands in 1960, but Portuguese control made it
impossible to wage an effective guerrilla war. The organization, the Committee for the
Liberation of São Tomé and Príncipe (later renamed the Movement for the Liberation of
São Tomé and Príncipe—MLSTP), remained in exile in Gabon until it was recognized
by Portugal in 1974 as the sole legitimate representative of the people of São Tomé and
Príncipe.

History of their police organization:

The territory making up the Republic of Senegal (République du
Sénégal) was once part of the Ghana Empire, during which time Islam
came to predominate the religious beliefs of native Senegalese. The Wolof
(or Jolof) Empire emerged in the region in 1360, dominating much of the
region until 1549. Beginning in the 15th century, various European nations
competed for trade with coastal chiefdoms, including trade in slaves. In the
1850s, France began to expand inland, subduing the indigenous population
with military force as necessary.
Merging briefly with French Sudan in 1959 to form the Mali Federation,
Senegal achieved full independence in August of 1960. The nation joined
briefly with its neighbor, Gambia to form Senegambia in 1982, but the union
was dissolved after seven years.
The Senegalese Armed Forces consist of the Army, Navy, Air Force,
National Gendarmerie, and the National Police, with approximately 19,000
active personnel. The nation has enjoyed relative stability in all the years of
its independence, and has been a committed participant in many
peacekeeping efforts including those with ECOMOG and the United
Nations.

History of their Police organization:
The history of Tanzania begins more than 10,000 years ago with the hunter-gatherer
communities south of the Olduvai Gorge in Northern Tanzania, where archeologists
have found what they believed to be conclusive fossil evidence of the first humans
called Homo habilis, existing at least a million and quarter years ago. From the time of
approximately 1000 B.C., several migrations into the region occurred, continuing
through the 18th century with the most considerable expansions taking place within the
15th and 16th centuries. By the 19th century, there was an estimated 200 chiefs ruling a
population of about 200,000 within the Western and Central regions of what is now
modern-day Tanzania.
The slave trade followed this migration to the east coast. By 1839, over 40,000 slaves a
year were being sold through Zanzibar, with many of those captured having died of
disease and exhaustion before reaching the island.

History of police organization:
The colony was established towards the end of the period of European
colonization in Africa generally known as the "Scramble for Africa". Two
separate protectorates were established in 1884. In February 1884, the
chiefs of the town of Aného were kidnapped by German soldiers and forced
to sign a treaty of protection. In the Lomé region, the German explorer,
medical doctor, imperial consul and commissioner for West Africa Gustav
Nachtigal was the driving force toward the establishment of the West
African colonies of Togoland as well as Kamerun. From his base on the
Spanish island possession Cesare Ferdinand in the Bight of Biafra he
traveled extensively on the mainland of Africa. On 5 July 1884 Nachtigal
signed a treaty with the local chief, Mlapa III, in which he declared
a German protectorate over a stretch of territory along the Slave Coast on
the Bight of Benin. With the small gunboat SMS Möwe at anchor, the
imperial flag was raised for the first time on the African continent. Consul
Heinrich Ludwig Randad, Jr., resident agent of the firm C. Goedelts at
Widah, was appointed as the first commissioner for the territory.
In 1899, Germany and Great Britain traded territory in the Samoan
Islands for the Northern Solomon Islands and control in Tonga, using the
Togoland Neutral Zone (Yendi) and the Volta Triangle as bargaining chips.
