The western edge of the Afghan capital of Kabul (AP) - In the door of the National Police Academy, into firing position, guard the bolt. "Stop!" He shouted.
It is 4:00, the lights do not work, ignore protection superiors told him, will arrive in a red Toyota Corolla. Time and again, a suicide bomber attacked the Afghan police and army outposts. Therefore, one of the first lesson taught at the College is hard work.
The preparation of the Afghan security forces is NATO plans to withdraw all its troops from the country before the end of 2014, the new commander of the college hopes to help turn around a 146,000 strong national police force long a thousand wounds, one hundred hole of corruption, incompetence and partisan debate.
These problems are not publicly acknowledged. On Thursday, U.S. President Hamid Karzai said his army and police force, and be prepared to take full responsibility for security, if the US-led international coalition decided to speed up the handover. In a statement issued this week, troops from the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), Afghan National Army's most respected institutions in the country, and said: "The Afghan National Police also enjoy a high degree."
However, the director of the National Police Academy, Mullah Dad Pazoish put forward a different point of view.
"We are the police, who do not know the meaning of the word police," Pazoish said in a recent interview. "We have no training general, they are the commanders of the jihad."
International observers warned that the illiteracy accounted for the majority of the collapse of the police force in 2014 to sectarian militias loyal to local warlords, not the country.
There are also questions on the ability of the Afghan army, continue to suffer high wear rate.
The report released this month by the International Crisis Group is headquartered in Brussels, the conclusion is not even close to the Afghan security forces ready to take over security nationwide. "The army, only 7% and 9% of the national police force capable of independent action, even with the consultant," the report said.
Karzai complained two weeks ago, the Afghan forces did not get the NATO allies that they need the weapons, which means that Afghanistan may go to other countries, such as China and Russia, in order to get them.
Small criticism is that the police have taken the heaviest casualties in the war. On average, nearly 10 police officers have been killed or injured every day, according to the statement of the International Security Assistance Force.
The risk is clearly in the minds of the guard pointed his weapon at Toyota close to the door of the 70-year-old college, the nation's oldest, dating back to a peaceful Afghanistan, a large composite ruling monarch.
General Nawroz Khaliq, who took command of the College, eight months ago, to restore higher standards bodies. Receding hairline, Khaliq career envisaged Police College, will create a new generation of police knowing, understanding people, and is committed to safeguarding.
He said: "I guarantee that this institute will be in 10 years is any good in the world", within the comfort of his office, the entire parade ground. Hamid Karzai, a huge picture hanging on the wall. Dusty plastic flowers bouquet of dominant bookshelves and comfortable sofas, queuing walls.
Khaliq said that the withdrawal of foreign troops in 2014 may be rising on the occasion of the Afghans the chance to prove himself, but he also admitted that the future work is huge.
After the collapse of the Taliban regime in 2001, the School of the traditional three-year program, the main is replaced with a new eight-week training course eager uniformed police. Most of the police from the warlord's militia leaders sitting in the ranks of the Afghan Parliament. Some people from remote villages. Few people to see the inside of a school.
Eight weeks of police training programs, the standard is low, according to Khaliq. There is no academic requirements, and new recruits even not able to sign their names, only need to provide their own fingerprint. However, they need to be recommended by government officials, deficiencies, they are neither the Taliban, nor is it a crime.
The Falaq Niaz of Samedi, lawyers and law professors in the college, said government officials to promote the poor quality of the candidates, and then blame the corruption of the Police Academy.
"I was in a seminar (indoor) vice minister said to me," all police and robbers, "but I told him," the police, not robbers, this is the person you robber, you put all those people, you send out, the police will not robbers. '
When he arrived at work, Khaliq said, he was surprised to find that only a handful of students in the three-year program. The college entrance examination also was suspended for two years.
He immediately convened a national exam, including 8257 participants. Were selected for 900 College.
However, a discouraging prospective Khaliq said, has put pressure on the government to reduce the standard of the entrance. Currently, recruits must have a grade 12 education, 18 to 25 years old, but the government to increase the upper age limit of 35 - presumably in order to accommodate more unemployed militia.
Khaliq said that 30 years of war-torn country's education system and today, even high school graduates are well educated. However, Khaliq trying to support the standard, an increase of three-year plan that allows professional year. Has been expanded to include human rights, treatment of prisoners and gender studies courses.
Studied at the of nearly 30 women. They study hard as their male counterparts, but the train and a huge white curtain behind, hidden hundreds of people in the the cavernous sinus cafeteria to eat their lunch. Training of female police officers, in order to protect other women and search. They will not be deployed to outposts and checkpoints. College, they wore gray uniforms, with a long coat and black headscarf.
Only 1 name, Spushmai, a female recruit who is going to say, she was not afraid of retaliation for the rebels, who advocate a strict code of behavior of women, however, after the departure of the foreigners, we will very worried. "
Another fresh recruit, who want to practice their English level, hemmed and hawed.
"We are the future of our country, we will have real training and education," said 阿齐姆阿迦, 18, from the northern Baghlan province. "The police now people in the street are not educated and Jihad," the reference of continuous war in Afghanistan. "We are very proud of the police."
But pride in itself and can not beat the militants.
In the four officers in a Taliban attack on a police station, only two weapons, according to Khaliq. He said the police have more vehicles than weapons and almost 60 percent of the police on the streets, in the countryside inland communications equipment.
Khaliq, acknowledged criticism of the police said in a heap mountains, they also made some of the greatest sacrifice life, do not know if their neighbors are Taliban insurgents.
This month the national police force in Ghazni province Zalmai Faizi, a 7-year-old veteran, his 5-year-old daughter and 18-year-old son buried. Taliban militants shot and killed them, because the two of them sitting in a car parked outside his house.
Faizi's voice broke and his eyes watering, he bit her lip, in an interview with reporters about the killing. Moment he could not speak. He clenched his fists, and said in a quiet voice: "I do not want anyone to see me cry, my enemy, because it will give us strength, so that we hurt the morale of our police."
