Results of the work of the prevention police units in course of nine months of this year, as well as the prospects of services were discussed on 31 October at a meeting chaired by Ihor Klymenko, Head of the National Police of Ukraine. Heads of preventive police units of all regions of the state took part in the event.

The Head of the National Police stressed that within nine months of this year, the preventive activity units in cooperation with other law enforcement agencies fulfilled the tasks assigned to them, ensuring the proper law and order and safety of citizens. At the same time, preventive work of the police remains one of the most important areas of activity of the National Police, since the employees of prevention units are the first to help people. In particular, they are tasked with responding to citizens' challenges, eradicating domestic violence, preventive work with law violators, and ensuring the safety of participants of mass rallies.

Therefore, Ihor Klymenko stressed the need for proper interaction of all units of preventive activity with other services: “I emphasise the need for comprehensive interaction of the prevention police and the criminal block. Especially when ensuring the safety of participants of mass events. This cooperation should be established in every oblast, every department.”

He also emphasised on the development of police and hromada interaction projects already implemented by the National Police. In particular, the Hromada Police Officer project. It already operates in seven regions of the country. 33 police officers trained under the project are already serving in amalgamated hromadas of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. At the same time, 48 police officers are undergoing internships, while another 173 are passing special training at the Dnipropetrovsk and Lviv State Universities of Internal Affairs.
