PA Seeks to Cut 30,000 Policemen from West Bank Security Forces -Khaled Abu Toameh

The PA security forces have some 80,000 on their payroll. However, nearly half of them don't report to work and actually have no real jobs.

[P]revious attempts by the PA leadership to lay off thousands of policemen were called off for fear of a mutiny inside the Palestinian security services. According to the new PA plan, all policemen over the age of 45 would be forced into retirement. In addition, thousands whose names appear on the payroll of the security forces but don't do any work would be fired immediately.
