First-year cadets were introduced to the work of community police officers as a new format of partnership between the police and society.
The officers emphasized that their work is an integral part of the community’s daily life. They are always nearby, the first to respond to incidents, act proactively, and ensure people’s safety and peace. Their main tasks are maintaining order, preventing offenses and crimes in the community.
