The Somali Police Force (SPF) is today marked the 76th anniversary since its inception.
The main ceremony took place in Mogadishu and other towns around the country.
The law enforcement agency with motto ‘protect and serve’ was established on 20th December 1943 by the colonial master Italy.
Before the fall of Siad Barre, the force was one of the most efficient in the African continent.
In the recent past, the force has built stronger structures, including recruiting younger and more educated people into the force.
Their operations have been above board, observing the rule of law while combating crime.
The force has also seen the recruitment of Zakia Hussein, the first deputy chief of the force.
She has performed exceptionally, rebuilding the image of once spat force and bringing in the discipline while rewarding merit.
Today Villa Somalia paid a glowing tribute to her.
A statement from Villa Somalia. “As our Somali Police Force marks the 76th anniversary in service delivery & professionalism, we proudly celebrate the input of the female members of the forces led b Deputy Chief Gen @ZakiaHussen for impacting change in the image of the forces and raising the power of women in Somalia”.
A well-orchestrated ceremony to commemorate its establishment and those died in the line of duty took place at Somali police transport department in the city.
The celebrations were expected to take place yesterday but technical issue has necessitated the move to Saturday.
