"After receiving certificates during a ceremony, the police cadets vowed to serve the people and tighten the security everywhere in the country," Bashardost said.

The new policemen will be deployed in the country's eastern area, according to the commander.

According to Ministry of Interior Affairs of the Afghan caretaker government, a police force of some 200,000 members has so far been set up to enforce law and order in the war-torn country.
