10 Most Corrupt Police Forces in The World
Police corruption is a form of police misconduct in which law
enforcement officers seek personal gain, such as money or career
advancement, through the abuse of power, for example by accepting
bribes in exchange for not pursuing, or selectively pursuing, an
investigation or arrest. Throughout the world, police forces are
cause of deep-rooted corruption. They involved in such criminal
activities that hurt the society and endangered its citizens. Many
policemen are underpaid and want to make extra money, they turn to
corruption – but their selfish acts have caused a large amount of
damage on countries that desperately need help. We also wrote an
article on 10 corrupt countries, you may like that.
Here are the 10 most corrupt police forces in the world.
(The List is in reverse order)
10. Pakistan Police.
Pakistan’s police has been ranked among the most corrupt
institutions in the country in a survey by an international
anti-graft watchdog. Many citizens believe that the police is the
most corrupt sector of the Pakistani government. Police brutality,
extortion bribery and arresting innocent citizens are all crimes
that have been committed among Pakistan’s police forces.
9. Russia Police.
Russian government is no stranger to corruption, especially within
its police force. Within recent years, facts have surfaced about the
corruption and crimes being committed by Russian police officers.
Police brutality, extorting bribes and arresting innocent citizens
are all crimes that have been committed among Russian police forces.
In order to ensure monthly quotas and make ends meet, Russian police
turn to corruption and bribery.
8. Sudan Police.
Sudan is one of the most corrupt countries for various reasons. Not
only has their former president Oman Al-Bashir been indicted for war
crimes and genocide, but this nation suffers from a corrupt police
force. Sudanese police have been known to extort bribes from
civilians in order to supplement their incomes. Police rarely file
reports or investigate crimes, and often use violence and
retaliation against people who complain about police abuses.
7. Afghanistan Police.
Afghanistan has had one of the most corrupt police forces in the
world, and it seems like it’s only getting worse with time. Graft
has made it impossible for Afghan police to improve and effectively
do their job, but corruption is witnessed within the police force,
as well. Afghan police have been known to extort money and inflict
violence on civilians at police checkpoints around the country.
Police also bribe civilians into paying them for their release from
prison or to avoid arrest. Although police corruption has gotten
slightly better with international efforts and retraining, it
continues to suffer at the whim of governmental corruption and
power.
6. Somalia Police.
The Somali police force is at No. 4 amongst the most corrupt in the
world. This war-torn country continues to face great difficulties
and people are at the greatest risk. The Somali police have been
popular to be ineffective and crooked, because they are underpaid.
Most of Somali police officers involved in steeling, extortion,
bribery and they harass individuals to get money.
5. Iraq Police.
The Iraqi police have had a long history of corruption and, despite
funds and retraining efforts, they’ve managed to maintain their
corruption. Iraqi police continue to be highly sectarian and
participate in kidnappings, ransom payments and bribery. They have
proven to be ineffective at controlling terrorism efforts and
protecting civilians in the ways they need to be.
4. Burma Police.
Burma ranked 4 amongst the countries with a troubled agency.
Corruption among police force is most common here. The Burma police
has been known to make victims pay for criminal investigations. They
are popular for extortion money from civilians. Burma is ruled by a
highly authoritarian military regime, therefore the Burma police and
the rights of citizens are under direct hold of military.
3. Kenya Police.
Kenya ia at No.3 amongst the most corrupt police forces in the
world. According to a recent survay report of Transparency
International, the 92 percent civilians of Kenya ranked their police
as the most corrupt and many of them have paid a bribe to their
police during the last 12 months. Civilians are bribed into paying
police for access to various services, like Customs, healthcare,
education, police, registration and permits. They paid a bribe even
on utility services.
2. Mexico Police.
Mexico hold second spot amongst the most corrupt police forces. One
of the most troubled police and it continues to get worse every day.
Crime is at an all-time high in Mexico City and border towns, but
many police officers are only making it worse. Mexican police turn
to corruption to find other means of money because the pay is low.
Police will bribe criminals and extort tourists and have been known
to give victims the option of “plata o plomo,” which means they can
either accept a bribe or be killed. Mexican police also work with
drug cartels to protect them and enforce drug trafficking. They
often ignore reported crimes and do not investigate them, often
imprisoning innocent citizens to cover up their dirty work.
1. Haiti Police.
World’s most corrupt police force is of Haiti. The Haitian police
have negatively influenced society and Haitian culture with their
unethical practices for quite awhile. In recent years, the Haitian
National Police have violated various human rights and broken
numerous laws, such as kidnapping, drug trafficking and police
brutality. They have even resisted preventing or responding to
gang-related violence. The lawlessness of the HNP appears to have
died down slightly after the catastrophic earthquake in January
2010, but only time will tell if it will stay this way. (source)
