In addition, patrol policemen will serve as prevention officers: They will carry out preventive work with individuals on administrative records, provide assistance to local residents, communicate with regional communities, and monitor compliance with road traffic regulations.
"Such a wide range of powers will make the police service as close as possible to the local population and allow policemen to assist in emergency cases even before the arrival of operational and investigative officers, health care or emergency teams" - added the head of the MIA.
Let us recall that on July 2nd, the head of the National Police Khatia Dekanoidze in the city of Khmelnitsky presented the work of the patrol police rapid response teams in the Khmelnitsky region.
