He said that the patrol police is short of staff in each city - from Kiev to Odessa from Lvov to Kharkov. The reason is high standards and tough requirements to the candidates to serve in the patrol police.
"We have established very high standards, even in cities where we had a contest of 20 cаndidates per one vacancy. And it worked, because the policemen attrition during this period was very low. And it is a very proper approach. We want to maintain the quality of police staff", - said Arsen Avakov.
