ESTABLISHMENT AND DEVELOPMENT OF POLICE PROFESSIONAL DOCTRINE IN SUDAN: A HISTORICAL OVERVIEW

Abstract

Police professional doctrine is a critical factor in shaping the conduct and performance of law enforcement agencies. This study provides a historical overview of the establishment and development of police professional doctrine in Sudan, a country that has faced significant challenges related to law and order, governance, and security. The study employs a qualitative research design that draws on primary and secondary sources. The results indicate that the establishment and development of police professional doctrine in Sudan has been shaped by various factors, including colonial legacy, political instability, civil wars, and external influences. The study identifies three distinct phases in the evolution of police professional doctrine in Sudan: the colonial period, the post-independence period, and the contemporary period. The study concludes that the establishment and development of police professional doctrine in Sudan is a complex and multifaceted process that requires a comprehensive understanding of the historical, social, and political context of the country.
