He said that the officers will not be trained like the new recruits who may sometime takes some months or a year because they have been serving and only need to refresh their minds for the sake of regaining more discipline. Maraino also said that the officers are trained to get full combats to fight high rate of crimes. However, they have acquired more training from the United Nations and they should to be retrained to control any further challenges ahead of the upcoming 2015 elections. Last year, violence erupted in Wau town where the police department was blamed for failing to impose laws and orders to disperse the angered protesters who were aiming to storm into government buildings. The failure immediately led to the suspension of the former state police commissioner Major General Joseph Sebit Makalele in December by the state governor.
