The attacks coincided with renewed efforts to revive a peace process with the Islamist insurgent movement that stalled last year.
The Afghan National Civil Order Police (ANCOP) was set up as a gendarmerie-style unit to control riots and urban disorder but have also been used in counterinsurgency roles against the Taliban.
