As Myanmar heads towards a new civil war, the police are coming under intense pressure to decide whether to stay loyal to the military or join the civilian militia, the People’s Defence Force.
Since the military coup on 1 February, police have been used to brutally suppress mass protests.
Some protesters have taken up arms to fight back, forming civilian militias called the People’s Defence Force.
The BBC has been given rare access to the first group of police officers who defected and joined the people’s side.
Some of those officers even say they’re prepared to use their weapons against their former colleagues.
