Algeria security improved, says national police chief

Algeria’s national police chief Wednesday highlighted the smooth running of security coverage program in the country.

• “Security situation is improving as you can see that,” Ali Tounsi told journalists.  
• “Those efforts come from our respect to citizens and our work to ensure safety wherever they are,” he added.
• Speaking at a ceremony with police trainees, Tounsi said they must implement what they learnt and win people’s trust.
• “Policemen should make people cooperating with them in the fight against crime.”
• A total of 249 policemen have been trained in law, mathematic and other subjects for 9 months.
• Earlier this month, Tounsi said Algeria is expected to train its judicial police in the fight against cyber-criminality.
• A draft law is being elaborated to oblige Internet operators to provide assistance in counterterrorism operations.
