The EU advisory mission delivered modern IT equipment to the National Police
The transfer of equipment took place within the framework of the implementation of the international technical assistance project “Operational support in providing strategic advice on the reform of the civil security sector of Ukraine”. The ceremony was attended by Deputy Head of the National Police of Ukraine Vasyl Teteria and Chairman of the CMEC in Ukraine Antti Hartikainen.
The National Police received from the IEC the computer equipment necessary for a comprehensive system of digital and information technologies, which corresponds to the priority of the department in the direction of digitization of activities. In particular, today, European partners handed over laptops, tablets, smartphones, software, etc., to Ukrainian police officers. Among other things, the technology will help create mobile jobs for pre-trial investigation, criminal investigation, information and analytical support units.
The Chairman of the ECSC in Ukraine Antti Hartikainen stressed that since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion, employees of the National Police, other law enforcement agencies and the Ukrainian defense forces have demonstrated and continue to demonstrate extraordinary courage and courage.
“You, Ukrainians, today show the world extraordinary determination, readiness to defend your land and fight for freedom and European values. Also, your resilience is extraordinary. But, unfortunately, your struggle is not over yet. Support from international partners is necessary, and it will continue to come in various ways. We will continue to be with you. We also hope that with the equipment we are transferring today, the Russian-Ukrainian war will become the most documented war in history. We believe that information technology plays an extremely important role in this sense,” said Antti Hartikainen.
Vasyl Teteria, on behalf of the Police of Ukraine, thanked the representatives of the ECSC for the support that the mission has been providing to the National Police for several years: “Only with the latest equipment will we be able to win: both in weapons and in technology. The equipment will be distributed, in particular, to those units that were affected by the Russian aggression, where we lost regional departments. Only in this way can we defeat our enemy. You are side by side with us, we look forward to further partnership and friendly relations.”
The ECSC also noted that the mission plans to organize and conduct trainings for Ukrainian investigators and forensics who document and investigate war crimes.
Recall: earlier, European partners handed over to the National Police more than a thousand hooded vests. It is also planned to transfer 1200 body armor and protective helmets.
