During the meeting, the parties discussed the state of current cooperation between the Ministry of internal affairs of Ukraine and the US government.

Special attention was paid to the successful implementation of the project "Community Police Officer".

The Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Arsen Avakov stressed that this project will have a new level of providing high-quality police services and a security system.

"Every Ukrainian in the most remote village should feel safe. A police officer is focused on solving the security problems of his territorial community. He is accessible to the public, because he is constantly close to people," the minister said.

The parties highly appreciated the success of the implementation of this project. Kristina Kvin expressed her readiness to continue supporting it and the implementation of other joint projects with the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine.

Reference: The project "Community Police Officer" has been implemented since May 2019. Today, it is being implemented in 16 regions of Ukraine, where 444 police officers serve in 273 communities. The project is aimed at improving the public attitude to the National Police of Ukraine in small towns and villages, providing an opportunity for citizens living in remote areas to receive high-quality police services.
