Every second district police officer in Russia has quit
MOSCOW, March 5. /TASS/. Every second district police officer with 10 years of service quit the Ministry of Internal Affairs in 2024. This was announced by the head of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs Vladimir Kolokoltsev at an extended meeting of the department's board.
"On average, in Russia over the past five years, the number of daily patrols has decreased by a quarter. The composition of district police officers has been almost completely renewed over the past six years. Over the past year alone, every second experienced employee with 10 years or more of service in this unit quit," he said.
Kolokoltsev emphasized that the specifics of this area imply a thorough knowledge of the entrusted territory, daily communication with citizens. It takes years to establish contact with the population, the minister noted. "It is obvious that in such conditions, maintaining control over the operational situation leads to inevitable overtime, causing a further outflow of personnel. But even in a difficult personnel situation, the position must remain unchanged - a decrease in the selection of candidates for service in the internal affairs agencies is categorically unacceptable," he emphasized.
The Minister also said that one third of the ministry's employees are women. According to him, in a number of regions, their number is approaching 50% of the personnel. "For information - in the preliminary investigation agencies, 68% of employees are female, in migration units - 77%, in inquiry - 81%," the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs said.
