Law enforcement in Mali

Law enforcement in Mali

Law enforcement in Mali is the responsibility of the national police force (numbering about 1,000 personnel in 2004), which is subordinate to the Ministry of Internal Security and Civil Protection. [http://lcweb2.loc.gov/frd/cs/profiles/Mali.pdf Mali country profile] . Library of Congress Federal Research Division (January 2005). "This article incorporates text from this source, which is in the public domain."] The police force shares responsibility for internal security with the paramilitary Gendarmerie. Police responsibilities are concentrated exclusively in urban areas. Local police districts are headed by commissioners, who report to regional directors at national police headquarters. The police force is judged to be moderately effective despite deficiencies in resources and training and the persistence of corruption.
