Parliament approves revised law on Police service
PoliticsUlaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ Today, Parliament approved a revised law on Police service in its plenary session. Currently effective law on Police service stated that legal status and some relations related to police activities would be regulated with separate law.
However, the separate law has not been approved until now and many relations including legal status of policemen, their social guarantee, internal labor relations have been regulated with general rulings of the law on State civil service. And relations on using power, firearms and special tools have been ruled with just regulations. Therefore, the law has been revised to provide missing regulations, improve and amend necessary provisions.
New law states that Government will determine the structure of Police. Every appointed new Minister in charge of police tends to change police structure, therefore working group considered it proper to transfer the right to the Government and majority of MPs supported the proposal. The right to appoint the head of Police Department is kept to the Minister of Justice and Internal Affairs.
