Our Indian Police is often cursed for being a very corrupt police force.
Most of us have little or no faith in our safety and security supervisors. While there are many reasons n our country for many to go corrupt, there are many other countries which have worse case scenarios.
We all know that police corruption takes place when police forces display misconduct in order to obtain personal gains, monetary gains, or job advancements. In our country the reason to corruption at lower levels is the under-wages. They are not paid as per their job duties and hence they seek gains from other sources. In many other countries the reasons are similar but there are many a times when the act of corruption is based on purely selfish reasons. And in that case, they have broken all the barriers of corruption.
Here we are bringing you the top 5 Corrupt Police Forces of the nations across the world:
- The Most Corrupt Police Force Goes To Haiti Police

Even the Haitian culture has been marred with the unethical practices of the forces. Police officials are notorious to take law in their hands and trouble the citizens beyond measures. If you see the records of recent times, Haitian police went outrageous and broke many laws and violated human rights to the extends past believable. They have been involved in human trafficking, drug trafficking, and many acts of brutality.

- Second Position Is Grabbed By The Mexico Police
One of the most troubled police and it continues to get worse every day. Crime is at an all-time high in Mexico City and border towns, but many police officers are only making it worse.

They even extort a lot of money from tourists. They are known to give victims the option of “plata o plomo,” which means they can either offer a bribe or be killed. Mexican police also work with drug cartels to protect them and enforce drug trafficking. They often ignore reported crimes and do not investigate them to catch hold of criminals, instead, imprisoning innocent people to cover up for their negligence.
- Kenya Police Takes The Third Position

This one a worse case, as a recent survey report of Transparency International, where the 92 percent civilians of Kenya themselves ranked their police as the most corrupt. Their verdict was shocking as many of them said to have paid a bribe to their police during the last 12 months only. Civilians are threatened to pay police on the availability of most basic amenities and services such as customs, healthcare, education, various registration and permits and basic utility services.
- At Number Four Is Subdued Burma Police
Burma ranked 4 when it came to the corruption in the nation, especially police force. Corruption among police force is like moving vehicles on the road, very usual and acceptable. The Burma police is notorious to make victims pay for the criminal investigations. Extorting money from troubled citizens is like their favorite pass time.

The most contentious Iraqi police have had a long history of corruption for various reasons. Despite the funding and monetary assistance from UN and other organizations, they are not giving up on corrupt practices. Iraqi police continue to be highly ruthless, cruel and inhumanly. They participate in kidnappings, ransom payments and bribery, quite openly. Moreover, they have a track record of being ineffective at nailing the terrorist activities in the country. The reasons are well known to the citizens and the authorities outside the country too.
