Law enforcement in Georgia (country)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Law enforcement in Georgia has undergone a radical transformation in the last few years. In 2005 President Mikhail Saakashvili fired "the entire traffic police force" due to corruption, [1] numbering around 30,000 police officers. [2] A new force was built around new recruits. [3]The United States State Department's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law-Enforcement Affairs has provided assistance to the training efforts. [4]
