Ukraine’s law enforcement system is in the process of transformation from an old control-focused policing to a modern service-oriented institution, which is sensitized towards the needs of the community. The Co-ordinator helps to ensure the reform puts into practice the principles of democratic policing that require law enforcers to pursue transparency and accountability to all citizens, their representatives, the state and the law.
The Co-ordinator helps to develop comprehensive, problem-specific training courses, offers re-training to serving officers, and supports the development and introduction of modern police education approaches for newly recruited cadets. Assistance is also provided in developing instructions and sub-laws, notably to support police responses to domestic violence, human trafficking and cybercrime.
