Vitalii Yarema: Changes in consciousness of militiamen will enable to create European law enforcement system

“It is crucial to transform the law enforcement system. It concerns not only militia performing the duties in Luhansk and Donetsk regions, it concerns all the law enforcement bodies operating on Ukraine’s territory,” Vitalii Yarema said.

According to the top official, reforming should trigger serious changes in the law enforcement system. “Primarily, it concerns changes in consciousness of militia officers. The mentioned changes will enable to create a European-like law enforcement system. It is crucial to solve salary increase and to improve social status of law enforcement officers as fast as possible,” Vitalii Yarema emphasized. He added the Government had engaged into this work on a daily basis.

Moreover, the First Vice Premier noted that law enforcement officers who hadn’t been loyal to the oath would be dismissed and prosecuted. “Nowadays the Ministry of Internal Affairs is engaged into identifying these persons and preparing orders on their dismissal with further bringing to justice, pursuant to the current legislation,” Vitalii Yarema announced.
