They are commanded by Maj. Gen. Tarek Al Hasan and include all Ministry of Interior field units responsible for maintaining order and security in Bahrain.[1]{{rp|page=52}} HistoryThe Bahrain Police Directorate was first established in 1961 to address internal security, and was headed by Shaikh Mohammed ibn Salman Al Khalifa. At the time of Bahrain's independence from Britain in 1971, the name of the Directorate was changed to the Ministry of Interior, and the State Police was renamed as Public Security Forces.[2] DepartmentsThe following units and departments are among those that report directly to the PSF command:
Role during 2011–present uprisingMembers of the PSF were the law enforcement officers most often involved in crowd control, and thus in direct clashes with protesters, during the Bahraini uprising. According to a Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry (BICI) report issued in November 2011, they were equipped with "body armour, shields, batons, sound bombs, tear gas and shotguns." They undertook all operations to clear protesters from the Pearl Roundabout, including one that took place on Bloody Thursday which led to the death of four protesters. The PSF also carried out arrests, patrol missions and searches.[1]{{rp|pages=52–3}} Human rights violationsAccording to the BICI report, PSF units involved in the Bahraini uprising used excessive force when dealing with protesters which led to many injuries, including loss of vision. The report stated:[1]{{rp|pages=266–7}} {{quote|An examination of the evidence presented to the Commission has revealed that PSF units involved in the events of February/March 2011 and subsequent events in many situations violated the principles of necessity and proportionality, which are the generally applicable legal principles in matters relating to the use of force by law enforcement officials. This is evident in both the choice of weapons that were used by these forces during confrontations with civilians and the manner in which these weapons were used. ... [T]he Commission concludes that while it has not found evidence establishing a purposeful practice of the use of lethal force by PSF units during the performance of their duties, the PSF have, on many occasions, used force and firearms in situations where this was unnecessary and in a manner that was disproportionate.}}However, as of May 2011, the Government of Bahrain has not taken any action against those who used excessive force against the protesters.[3]{{rp|page=10}} Chiefs of Public Security of Bahrain
HelicoptersThe Public Security Forces originally operated a pair of Westland Scouts as well as a pair of Hughes 269C helicopters. Later deliveries included a pair of Sikorsky S-76 helicopters as well as a McCulloch J-2 autogyro and an unknown number of Hughes 500D scout helicopters. Three Bell 412 utility transport helicopters now form the main lift of the force, and a single Bell 427 was acquired in 2001.[4] References1. ^1 2 {{cite report |title=Report of the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry |publisher=Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry |url=http://files.bici.org.bh/BICIreportEN.pdf |date=23 November 2011}} {{Bahrain security forces}}{{police}}{{Customs}}2. ^{{cite news | author=Staff writer | title = History of Police in the Kingdom of Bahrain | publisher=Ministry of the Interior (Bahrain) | url = http://www.interior.gov.bh/history_en.aspx | accessdate=17 February 2012}} 3. ^{{cite report |title=Bahrain: Speaking Softly |publisher=Human Rights First |url=http://www.humanrightsfirst.org/wp-content/uploads/pdf/Bahrain_Speaking_Softly_2011.pdf |date=17 May 2011}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.scramble.nl/orbats/bahrain/summary |title=Bahrain |publisher=Scramble |accessdate=4 January 2017 |work=Armed Forces Overviews}} 6 : 1971 establishments in Bahrain|Government of Bahrain|Government paramilitary forces|Human rights in Bahrain|Bahraini law|Law enforcement in Bahrain |
