The Dnipro State University of Internal Affairs conducted a series of binary training sessions to familiarize cadets and patrol police officers with the Custody Records control system.
The extracurricular session for DSUIA cadets was held as part of the “Measures to Ensure Criminal Proceedings” course. Its goal was to introduce cadets to the Custody Records system, a modern mechanism for monitoring detainee actions.
Professors of the Department of Criminal Procedure, Police Major Viktoriia Rohalska and Olena Soldatenko, along with representatives of Dnipro District Police Department No. 1 of the National Police Headquarters in Dnipropetrovsk Region, provided cadets with fundamental knowledge about the Custody Records system, which is being actively implemented in units of the National Police of Ukraine.
The system ensures protection for both detainees and police officers, safeguarding them from unlawful actions or unfounded accusations.
During a binary session for patrol police officers, Senior Lieutenant Oleksandra Kovalenko, an inspector from the Department for the Organization of Temporary Detention Facility Operations and Monitoring of Detainee Actions at the National Police Headquarters in Dnipropetrovsk Region, presented on the Custody Records control system.
Officers explored its operational principles and examined in detail the legally regulated procedural algorithm for handling detainees, from the moment of detention to placement in a temporary detention facility.
A series of off-site binary sessions and introductory excursions were also organized for 2nd- and 3rd-year cadets of the Faculty for the Training of Specialists for Pre-Trial Investigation Bodies of the National Police of Ukraine.
These activities took place at the temporary detention facility of the National Police Headquarters in Dnipropetrovsk Region.
Future investigators gained practical knowledge from detention facility personnel regarding the institution’s operations, the legal grounds, and the procedural regulations for lawful restrictions on freedom and personal integrity during detention.
Additionally, cadets familiarized themselves with the electronic recording system of Custody Records and had the opportunity to communicate with human rights compliance inspectors.
