This was announced today, September 6, by the Minister of Internal Affairs during the presentation of the priority directions and projects of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Denis Monastyrsky said that currently one of the most important and promising projects of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the “Community Police Officer”.
“Today, more than 600 such police officers are already successfully working in 372 amalgamated territorial communities of 21 regions. We see that trust in community police officers is over 70% where they are,” the minister said.
According to Denis Monastyrsky, the goal of the project is to provide service to each territorial community by an officer who lives and works on its territory.
