Twenty-seven senior Afghan police officers have been sacked as part of what the government calls a drive towards good governance.
The move involves 17 district police chiefs in the capital Kabul, along with officers involved in counter-narcotics.
The changes were ordered by Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, who has said many officers had links to warlords.
Since taking office last September, Ghani has repeatedly sacked officials accused of corruption.
Recently he sacked dozens of officials just hours into a snap inspection.
