President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih appointed Tuesday acting police chief Mohamed Hameed as the commissioner of police.
‘MC’ Hameed was appointed as the interim in-charge of the Maldives Police Service in December after he was promoted to deputy commissioner.
The appointment came shortly after Hameed returned to the Maldives Police Service as assistant commissioner.
Former police chief Hamdhoon Rasheed, who had been appointed by former president Abdulla Yameen in the wake of his defeat in September’s election, was dismissed after a brief tenure.
