Key Questions
What kind of police
structure are we
building up?
• Current ANP four pillar structure?
• Separation of power between the MoI corporate leadership
(police policy) and ANP command (operations)?
How can we help
strengthen policejustice cooperation?
• “Police-prosecutor-defense lawyer-judiciary-correction
chain only as strong as its weakest link “
• Law enforcement requires comprehensive approach
• Coordination in stovepipes (bridge police-justice gaps)
What are the
mechanisms to make
police reform
sustainable?
• Infrastructure: efficient use of training facilities/handover to
Afghans?
• Resources: efficient use of civilian policing expertise (IJC SFA
concept)
• Costs: Financing ANP/numbers ANP?
