Mozambique: More than 200 classrooms destroyed in Nampula province - by fires, strong winds | report
Miramar
Hundreds of traffic police officers across the country are being moved into the protection police, with almost all ranks among those transferred. This is the result of the first important orders of the new commander-in-chief of the Police of the Republic of Mozambique, Bernardino Rafael.
There are hundreds of Traffic Police agents across the country who are being moved into the Protection Police, in what is generally considered a demotion within the force. In the city of Maputo alone, approximately sixty transit police officers found their names printed in dispatch number 1403 from the cabinet of the general commander.
The document that Miramar has seen calls the transfers a ‘collusion of service’.
A source from the PRM General Command confirmed that the moves are taking place nationwide and says that two reasons were decisive for the transfer of traffic police officers.
First was the lack of a driving license. Our source explained that sometimes misinterpretation of the highway code deriving from lack of knowledge had engendered poor relations between the agents and drivers.
“Some of these agents do not know how to drive, so they had difficulties interpreting the code,” the source said.
The second issue was indiscipline.
“Some traffic police officers were repeat offenders. If they continue, they can be expelled.”
Traffic Police officers passing across to the security police include sub-inspectors, police sergeants, corporals and guards.
