BACKGROUND
The Rule of Law Project is supporting the dissemination of the culture of community-oriented policing — a police that serves the population — as per the objectives set by the Ministry of Interior and Municipalities (MoIM) and the 2018–2022 ISF Strategy.
The Project supports more than 19 pilot municipalities and 5 districts to reform their municipal police along those objectives. Given that the work of the municipal police and Internal Security Forces (ISF) complement each other on a daily basis, the Project started working with ISF Gendarmerie Stations of pilot municipalities.
In the pilot municipality of Haret Saida, the population is reportedly reluctant to visit the ISF Gendarmerie Station, notably because its premises are not user-friendly. In order to better address the community’s security needs and make the ISF Gendarmerie Station user-friendly to the populations of Baalbek, Antelias, Bourj El Barajneh, and Tebnine, the Project is working with the ISF Gendarmerie Station and both districts.
The work with the ISF Gendarmerie Station of Haret Saida is informed by lessons learned from the existing community policing pilots of Antelias, Baalbek, Adloun, Batroun, Aley, and Minieh that were previously conducted by the Project, as well as Ras-Beirut (Beirut), and guidelines produced by the ISF Directorate.
Therefore, the Project is looking to hire an architect to redesign and supervise the work of the ISF Station of Haret Saida and to accommodate and respond to the needs of the population.
