Sirajuddin Haqqani, the Taliban's Minister of Interior, announced that the group has at least 230,000 police personnel at its disposal.

Haqqani noted that the Taliban's Ministry of Interior is actively working to professionally train these forces.

According to a note by Abdul Mateen Qani, the spokesperson for the Taliban's Ministry of Interior on X, Haqqani described the police forces as a "major factor" in ensuring security during a meeting in Kabul.

Over nearly three years, the Taliban government has dismissed many military personnel and employees from the previous government from state institutions.
On Tuesday, during a speech at the "National Labour Conference," Haqqani expressed concern about the dismissal of previous government employees by the Taliban.

The Taliban's Minister of Interior stated, "We should not dismiss others from work and replace them with ourselves."
