The European Union Advisory Mission Ukraine met with the Ministry of Internal Affairs to discuss the implementation of the Sambir Police project.

 

The joint project of the EUAM and the Police of Lviv introduced new forms and methods of work at Sambir Police Station in Lviv region in June this year with the aim to implement an effective Response Police.

 

The Deputy Minister, Oleksiy Takhtai, highlighted the first positive results of the Sambir project: ”We see an increase of calls from people and the police responses to them. It shows the need for the implementation of such a model. That is why we appreciate the help from experienced professionals.”

 

During the discussion, the Deputy Head of Mission, Hugues Fantou, emphasized that the main goal of EUAM is to ensure compatibility of efforts for effective civilian security sector reform. “The way the reform goes should be determined by Ukraine, and we are here to assist them,” said Hugues Fantou.
