Deputy Commissioner Jamal Hakrush
 |
Security Minister Gilad Erdan plans to
establish new division within the Israel police force that will be
tasked with promoting law enforcement in Israel's Arab sector and
recruiting Arab Israelis to serve in the police force.
Assistant Commissioner Jamal Hakroush is set
to head the new division and will become the first Muslim Arab in the
history of Israel to rise to the rank of deputy commissioner.
Hakroush currently serves as the Deputy Chief
Officer of the Coastal Police District. He was the first Arab-Muslim to
receive the rank of assistant commissioner, and also the first to serve
as a deputy chief officer.
The new division is the brainchild of Erdan
and Police Commissioner Insp. Gen. Roni Alsheikh, and has been designed
to boost cooperation in the Arab sector as well as to fight the high
crime rate in Arab villages and towns.
Hakroush joined the Israeli police in 1978 and
served in numerous roles including commander of the immigration police
in the Haifa district, commander of Afula and Nahariya police stations
during the Second Lebanon War, and in 2007 he was appointed commander of
the Zevulun Station in Haifa.
Hakroush is from the village of Kafr Kanna,
where he still resides with his wife and four children. He has been
serving as the deputy commander of the Coastal District since 2010.
The new division will be charged with establishing new
police stations in Arab districts across the country and recruiting
cadets from within the sector.
