History and Biodata | Afghan National Civil Order Police Commander ANCOP:
Maj Gen Zamaray Paikan Zemari Paykan General Zemaray Paykan (20120426, 20130707, 20140113, 20151017, 2016 sacked)
Afghan National Civil Order Police (ANCOP) or Public Order Police (POP) 2011 across Afghanistan seized 249 types of weapons, 21 vehicles, 19 motorcycles, two tonnes of drugs and over 700 kilogrammes of explosives during the search operations, said POP Commander Maj. Gen. Zamaray Paikan.
Background: The ANCOP are routinely utilized as a replacement force when a local unit of ANP are sent for initial training to a NATO-led basic training facility. As well, ANCOP are also heavily utilized as a "surge" force of police wherever necessary within the country. As a result, an average ANCOP officer has been deployed on the front lines for a longer average time than his regular ANP counterpart; which has created an inordinate amount of turnover within the ANCOP force. In return for the higher commitment of training and fighting, ANCOP officers are promoted to sergeant and receive approximately $265 a month, roughly double the salary of a regular new ANP recruit. It has two SWAT teams, several explosive ordinance disposal teams, a heavy weapons company, transportation company and logistics support company. |
