Eritrean Police Force
The Eritrean Police Force (EPF) is the main law enforcement agency of Eritrea; the organization is part of the Eritrean Police and Security Command which has its headquarters in the capital Asmara. The EPF mission is to enforce and uphold the law, to prevent, detect and investigate crime and to control traffic. The force is described as being both bureaucratized and militarized, being dependent on military forces in dealing with emergency situations. The Eritrean Police Force pre-existed the independent State of Eritrea, being the local police department within the larger Ethiopia. In order to consolidate its position, the Eritrean liberation movement penetrated the police and security apparatus in Eritrea and recruited followers and members from the Eritrean Police Force. In 1994 the Eritrean Police Force was established using personnel demobilized from the Eritrean Liberation People's Front. As of 2002, the E.P.F. lacked specialist branches. As of 2014, the Commander of the Eritrea ...

Colonel
Colonel (abbreviated as Col., Col or COL) is a senior military officer rank used in many countries. It is also used in some police forces and paramilitary organizations. In the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, a colonel was typically in charge of a regiment in an army. Modern usage varies greatly, and in some cases, the term is used as an honorific title that may have no direct relationship to military service. The rank of colonel is typically above the rank of lieutenant colonel. The rank above colonel is typically called brigadier, brigade general or brigadier general. In some smaller military forces, such as those of Monaco or the Vatican, colonel is the highest rank. Equivalent naval ranks may be called captain or ship-of-the-line captain. In the Commonwealth's air force ranking system, the equivalent rank is group captain.
