Israel Police Commissioner Roni Alsheich on Wednesday 27 Adar-II expressed the need to bring chareidim into the force as the department is required to deal with crime and other matters among the various populations around the country. He feels that it is essential to bring chareidim on board to better address crime in that community.

In his address to the annual Israel Bar Association assembly in Eilat, the commissioner called for enlisting new cadets from the various communities in Israel to facilitate the department dealing with these communities, adding “for if not, we will never understand these communities”. He added “I will be in touch with rabbonim regarding family violence”.

He mentioned other communities too, including Ethiopian, Muslims, Christians, the dati leumi community and more.
