The Maldives Police Services has issued an advert today seeking 50 new police officers.
Meanwhile, the Maldives National Defence Forces (MNDF) has said it has received 470 applications for 45 newly opened jobs.
The recruitment drive for security officers comes amidst criticism over high defense spending.
The proposed state budget for 2014 allocates MVR 876.7 million (US$ 57 million) for the defense sector – 5.3 percent of the MVR 17.5 billion (US$ 1.1 billion) budget.
