Siniyah Takes Steps in Establishing Police Force, Security


SINIYAH — Due to the insurgent uprisings around the last week of October, the majority of the Sinyah’s police officers, the mayor and the entire city council resigned.

The uprisings resulted in the complete destruction of the police station and left the city without security.

However, the city of Sinyah has not given up.

After the devastating blow, a new police station is now being built and police officers are being trained to standard, said Antoine Dunmeyer, commander, Company A, 1st Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division.
