For the first time in
two decades, The Somali Police Force (SPF) celebrated, on Dec. 20, 2012, the 69th
anniversary of its founding at General Kahiye Police Academy in Mogadishu.
The Police, in groups
of specialized units as marked varying dress colors and with their commanders
leading, marched on the grounds of the academy to impress a city that has known
no law and order for over twenty years.
If anything, this
signals an improving return to normality and a promising strength for the
premier law enforcement agency that was disbanded in 1991 at the onset of the
country’s civil war.
While still under
reconstruction, The SPF have shown a growing capacity to maintain security of
various neighborhoods in the capital city including taking part in special operations,
crime prevention, managing traffic, investigating crimes and protecting government
institutions and VIPs.
Sharif Sheikhuna Maye
is the current chief of the police.
