New police, judge, and prosecutor positions were created in Turkey under a statutory decree published in the Official Gazette on Friday as part of the state of emergency.
Nearly 32,000 new police officer positions were created for the central and peripheral organization of the Turkish police, according to the decree.
In addition, 4,000 judge and prosecutor positions and 2,000 judge candidate positions were established for Justice Ministry peripheral organizations.
In the ministry's central structure, one Human Rights Department chair and four department chair positions were created.
Also under the decree, the National Intelligence Organization (MIT) will report to the president instead of the prime minister, and the president will also become head of the intelligence coordination board.
Turkey has been moving to a presidential system of government in the wake of a constitutional referendum this April approving the shift.
The state of emergency was declared in July 2016 in the wake of a defeated coup that left 250 people martyred and some 2,200 injured, and has since been extended.
