Day of the Community Police Officer
It was on May 28, 2019, that the project "Community Police Officer" was presented on Sophia Square in Kyiv. It was the next step in the reform of the National Police, the purpose of which was to provide each territorial community with a separate officer who would not only work, but also live in the territory of this community. The community partially pays for the work of such a police officer, and he, in turn, reports not only to his superiors, but also to the community.
