Increasing public trust in law enforcement, creating a safe environment, improving technical support, digitizing and developing services and involving the Ministry of Internal Affairs in anti-corruption reform are key directions for further development of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The head of the law enforcement agency Denis Monastyrsky told about this during a meeting with the ambassadors of the G7 countries.
“The Ministry of the Interior will focus its efforts on five areas of work. Regarding increasing the trust of the population, we focus on the following projects — community police officer, body cameras for the entire personnel of the patrol police, human rights monitoring “Сustody Records”, safe childhood and combating domestic violence”, - said Denis Monastyrsky.

Much attention of the Ministry of Internal Affairs also focuses on updating the material and technical base.
“Over the next few years, we have an ambitious goal to significantly improve and update the provision of our units. In 2021-2023, the intellectual border with Russia, Belarus and Moldova should be fully equipped. Reform and improvement are needed by the Maritime Guard. Currently, technical observation posts on the coast of the Azov and Black Seas are being modernized. The procedure for the purchase of 2 sets of stationary radar complexes for illumination of the surface situation has been started,” the head of the law enforcement agency said.
Denis Monastyrsky stressed that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has a steady tendency to simplify the procedures for providing services by service centers. Next is the further minimization of the human factor in decision-making and the maximum digitization of services.
The Minister of Internal Affairs noted that one of the key principles of the new team is the eradication of corruption in the ministry system.
