Policijska služba Botswane (Botswana Police Service) ima svoje korijenje
u Konjičkoj policiji Bechuanalanda, koja je osnovana 01. 06. 1884.
godine. Granična policija Bechuanalanda je fornirana 04. 08. 1985.
Krajem 1988-me kraljevkim ukazom osnovana je Policija Britanske
južnoafričke kompanije (British South Africa Company's Police) koja je
apsorbirala djelove BBP-a. Tokom 1980-tih stvaraju se razne policijske
službe koje prolaze mnogobrojne promjene dok 1. (Bechuanaland) Divizija
Policije Britanske južnoafričke kompanije nije prestala postojati i
nastala je Zaštitna policija Bechuanalanda (BPP). |
Zaštitna policija Bechuanalanda (BPP) je u svoje redove regrutirana
nešto lokalnih ljudi, a većinu crnih policajaca je regrutirala u
Basutolandu (današnji Lesotho), Rodeziji (današnji Zimbabwe) i Zambiji.
Nakon uspostave nezavisnosti 1965. godine, osnivaju se Policijske snage
Botswane (Botswana Police Force). 1971. godine regrutiraju i prve žene u
službu. 1977-me godine dolazi do promjena u ustroju policije a osnivaju
se i Odbrambene snage Botswane. U reformi 2009.godine spajaju se Lokalne
i nacionalna policija i stvara se Policijska služba Botswane. Moderna
služba u svojim redovima ima 8500 naoružanih službenika, od čega je 2000
žena. |

The service has its origins in the Bechuanaland Mounted Police,which
was formed on 1 July 1884. The Bechuanaland Border Police were
formed on 4 Aug 1885 . In October 1889 a royal charter established the
the British South Africa Company's Police, which absorbed part of the
BBP. During the 1890s the various police forces in the area went through
a number of name changes until BSAP No.1 (Bechuanaland) Division ceased
to exist, becoming the Bechuanaland Protectorate Police (BPP).
|
This force recruited few Bechuanaland natives, instead it mostly
recruited black constables in Basutoland (modern Lesotho), Rhodesia
(modern Zimbabwe) and Zambia. In 1965 following the independence of
Botswana the Botswana Police Force, was formed and in 1971 the
first female police constables were recruited. In 1977 in a reversal of
earlier policy and in response to growing threats to Botswana's
security, the Botswana Defence Force was formed. In 2009 the Botswana
police force subsumed the Botswana local police to create the
Botswana Police Service. The modern Botswana police service is an
armed police service of 8500 officers including 2000 female officers. |
