In Damascus, the new Syrian leadership is actively seeking candidates to reform the repressive police force established under Bashar al-Assad. With calls for recruitment circulating on social media, many aspiring officers, including those without formal qualifications, are eager to join the revamped police. New recruits express a desire to improve the system and restore trust among the populace. The police’s reorganization aims to align with international standards, but concerns remain about the revival of moral policing previously suppressed under the Assad regime.
