Government Response

The Minister of Interior signed an order on December 22, 2011 that included the following:

The ministry is entrusted to urgently employ 500 men and women in the police forces from all components of society, and from the five provinces.

A committee was established; and it began interviewing the candidates. Once the candidates are employed, they will be trained for six months and briefed on the police forces. Then, the process of employing another 500 personnel will start again.

Government Response

A copy was attached of the Interior Minister's speech with regard to the briefing that the Ministry embarked on a recruitment plan for 500 Bahrainis of both genders and from all sects and from various provinces to work in the police community service, after passing the conditions of employment.

It was noted that the acceptance of this group comes as an initial step to the employment of other groups when conditions and requirements are met in accordance with the regulations.
