Lion Heart 15,041 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 BOGOTA (Reuters) - Colombia's national police force has fired more than 1,400 officers over the past 80 days in a crackdown on corruption, the country's top law enforcement official said on Wednesday. The 180,000-strong police force has let go of nearly 18 officers per day since General Jorge Hernando Nieto took over leadership of the organization in February, he told journalists. The dismissals are part of a "zero tolerance for corruption," Nieto said, as the force seeks to improve its public image after recent scandals, including one connecting high-level officials to a prostitution ring. Almost 400 officers were removed from their posts because of corruption cases - everything from participation in drug trafficking to taking bribes. Others are under investigation for disciplinary issues, administrative failures or other reasons, Nieto said. http://www.businessinsider.com/colombia-has-fired-more-than-1000-police-officers-in-a-massive-crackdown-on-corruption-2016-5 ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FATCAT 60,888 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Corruption doesn't remove corruption. Most likely the uncorrupt were removed. Though, in the even that corrupt officers were in fact removed, there's now around 1,000 ex-officers with a certain skill set on the streets looking for a job.
