Saying this much about our region let’s come back to the main objective of this text. Good reading! Depending on the rule of law police of the region ensure peace and security of community so that they process their daily routine without any security problem.

The Oromia police commission is established

The Oromia police commission is established organization by declaration in October 1993 and has been causing the rule of law to be sovereign in the region.

Oromia police had started giving training

4Oromia police started working by 5,152 forces, 7 cars and 7 radios of communication. Because of the regions’ width and community abundances the police forces and the logistics services were not enough to fulfill the goal of ensuring peace and security of the region. For this reason Oromia police starts gradually to increase police members and officers in numbers and competency as well as important modernized equipments in order to prevent complicated crimes in order to ensure the sovereignty of the rule of law in sustainable way.

Likewise, Oromia police had started giving training of few days up to few months under tree shadow for the first time in 1993 at Jima and Adama towns in order to increase new police members. At this time Oromia police has one regular and vocational training center and one Police College. It has been giving training for new recruits from 1stto 24th round at Senkelle, Vocational training center and Lega Dadhi. And also, it has been strengthening itself from time to time by recruiting police members from community those have diploma and above and deploying them in community policing and officers. The college is giving training for police officers for the second round now.

Oromia police believes that increasing the number of police members

IMG 0811Oromia police believes that increasing the number of police members only is not enough to bring what is expected from police members. So, in order to produce police members those have enough capacity and competency, and can serve in reality up to sacrifice their life, Oromia police causes different short training to be given at region and federal level. So, different police members were able to be awarded from certificate to second degree by being sent to government and non government universities of abroad and in the country. By doing this Oromia police have been succeeded and was able to produce police members those have modernized knowledge and profession, and get belongingness from their peopleso that they cancooperate in sustaining peace and security. In the case of using modern equipments for police service, it is possible to say that there is better improvement in using new and modernized logistics than before by buying or getting aid as much as the government can afford even though it cannot be said that necessary materials are fulfilled for this service.

For example, it is possible to mention different forensic laboratory equipments that were bought for 9, 412, 532, and the issues that were being investigated by federal police only are being investigated by the region itself. This equipment is used to study document investigation, ignited body and weapons. It was taking several months before using this material but it takes only two up to three days since this material is being used.
