Police receives hefty 1.25B budget for ongoing militarisation efforts; stricter border controls to be imposed

March 5578

Yishelem - Both the Department of Defence Contracts of the Ministry of Defence and the Beiteynuese Magafaim (Army) confirmed last week that the Mishtara (Police) has been working "at full speed" in recent months towards the procurement of several high-end weapons and tactical gear from Equifund manufacturers and suppliers - and personnel undergoing extensive Jelbic-directed training regiments in the Desert Bank.

All in an attempt to address the gaping holes in domestic security and border control after the blatant shooting of Prime Minister Anna Kadiyot at Bei Elion International Airport, of all places.

Although the Sohnout Hashaet is mostly to blame for failing to prevent the incident, the Mishtara was not excluded from the public backlash.

Starting with the Nisrad of Yishelem, the authority's headquarters in Yishelem will steadily expand its mandates to the different divisions and branches of Beiteynu's policing forces both in urban centers and across all municipalities over the course of the next decade, in a general effort to systemically increase domestic security and border control, "instead of applying short measures", Mishtara's spokesperson stated this morning.

An extended preemptive watchlist has also been added to the Agaf's lists of multilateral relations across the Neset, in what high-ranking government officials describe as "one of the biggest joint governmental efforts in centuries". 

Reportedly, the Mishtara has started working with the Agafim and AllComm and the Allink itself, allowing police forces across the country to connect their software and databases directly with military and intelligence ones.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs also confirmed that the Mishtara will directly take charge of posts related to border patrol and security in airports, harbours, train stations and highway routes (whereas so far municipalities and local police branches have managed them).

Southern and eastern border patrols outside the aforementioned points will remain the responsibility of the Beiteynuese Magafaim - although currently both the police and the army are working together to help secure and contain northeastern borders due to the situation in Pontesi.
