Background

The Rule of Law project is supporting the dissemination of the culture of community-oriented policing - a police that serves the population – as per the objectives set by the Ministry of Interior and Municipalities (MoIM) and the 2018-2022 ISF Strategy.

The Project supports more than 19 pilot municipalities and 5 districts to reform their municipal police along those objectives. Given that the work of the municipal police and Internal Security Forces (ISF) complement each other on a daily basis, the Project started working with ISF Gendarmerie Stations of pilot municipalities. In the pilot municipalities of Baalbek, Antelias, Bourj El Barajneh and Tebnine the population is reportedly reluctant to visit the ISF Gendarmerie station, notably because its premises are not user friendly. In order to better address the community’s security needs and make the ISF Gendarmerie station user-friendly to the populations of Baalbek, Antelias, Bourj El Barajneh and Tebnine, the Project is working with the ISF Gendarmerie station and both districts.

The work with the ISF Gendarmerie Station of Baalbek, Antelias, Bourj El Barajneh and Tebnine, is informed by lessons learned from the existing community policing pilot of Batroun, Aley and Minieh that were previously conducted by the project as well as Ras-Beirut (Beirut), and guidelines produced by the ISF Directorate.

Therefore, the project is looking to hire an architect to redesign the current ISF station of Tebnine and to supervise the rehabilitation works of Antelias, Bourj EL barajneh, Baalback and Tebnine guaranteeing that these works accommodate and respond to the needs of the population.
