The Senegalese Ministry of the Interior and Public Security initiated a major restructuring of the National Police. Minister Mamadou Makhtar Cissé appointed 19 senior officials to strategic roles covering cybersecurity, urban security, and the Versatile Intervention Brigade (BIP).

Alongside these leadership changes, the 49th promotion of the National Police has encountered controversy. Following a two-year delay in salary payments, 86 agents were reportedly informed of their dismissal. While authorities attributed the decision to “insufficient training results,” the affected agents are contesting the move and requesting transparency regarding their evaluations.
