The Making of Police Professionalism in Sudan: Historical Insights
Abstract
This paper explores the establishment and development of police professionalism in Sudan, tracing its historical trajectory from colonial-era beginnings to contemporary advancements. It examines the influence of colonial administration, post-independence reforms, and the sociopolitical dynamics that shaped the evolution of police doctrine in Sudan. Key aspects include the adoption of modern policing principles, the challenges of localizing professional standards, and the impact of societal and cultural factors on law enforcement practices. The study highlights milestones in the professionalization of Sudan's police force, offering valuable insights into the interplay between history, governance, and policing in the region.
