Kaolack Police Academy: Radiation Injustice for 29 Stagiaires

• 29 police cadets from the same promotion were collectively dismissed without written notification on June 12, 2026.
• The FRAPP claims that the reasons cited for dismissal have not been proven or individualized.
• The case raises concerns about administrative procedure and violation of internal regulations.
• A deputy has submitted a written question to the government asking about the circumstances surrounding these dismissals.

No warning, hearing, or contradictory procedure preceded this decision, which occurred just after they received their first salaries and bonuses.

On May 19, 2026, 2,491 police cadets took the oath of office at a ceremony in Kaolack. However, just over a month later, on June 12, 2026, 29 of their colleagues from the same promotion received a phone call informing them of their collective dismissal without any written notification. The dismissal of 29 police cadets in Kaolack has sparked controversy. According to the Front des Acteurs pour la Promotion des Droits Humains (FRAPP), these young people had successfully passed the entry exam in 2024 and completed two years of training without receiving a salary. They were summoned by phone, without any written notification, to be informed of their exclusion. This incident was reported by ndarinfo. The FRAPP claims that the reasons cited, namely irregular absences and non-compliance with internal regulations, have not been proven or individualized. No warning, hearing, or contradictory procedure preceded this decision, which occurred just after they received their first salaries and bonuses.

The case raises concerns about administrative procedure, particularly the lack of written notification and violation of internal regulations. The FRAPP has called for the immediate annulment of these dismissals, the reintegration of the cadets, regularization of their administrative and salary situation, and the opening of an 'independent investigation. The matter has been brought to the National Assembly, with a deputy, Guy Marius Sagna, submitting a written question to the government on August 7, 2026. Titled 'Injustice dismissal of 29 student cadets from the 49th promotion of the police school after two years of training or at the table of the Wolf and the Lamb,' it asks the Minister of the Interior about the circumstances surrounding these dismissals. The deputy recalls that the cadets were informed by phone, without formal procedure, and demands communication of evidence of the absences attributed to them and the holding of an internal investigation.

This case highlights concerns about the treatment of police cadets in training. The FRAPP's call for reintegration and regularization of their situation raises questions about the fairness and transparency of administrative decisions. The involvement of a deputy and the submission of a written question to the government underscores the importance of addressing these issues. The incident also highlights the need for clear procedures and communication in administrative matters, particularly when it comes to dismissals and salary payments.

Cette affaire soulève des préoccupations en matière de procédure administrative, notamment l'absence de notification écrite et la violation du règlement intérieur. Les praticiens devraient surveiller les développements de cette enquête pour comprendre les implications potentielles sur le processus de recrutement et d'intégration des forces de l'ordre.
