Chisinau, 1 February /MOLDPRES/- The concept of community police work and action plan for 2018-2020 on its implementation will be published in the Official Journal of Moldova on 2 February.

The documents aim at organizing police activity in line with best practices and international standards of police cooperation with community members.

The concept of community police work does not imply the creation of a new police service or a distinct structure, but a model of police activity in common with society, in order to solve problems related to crime and public security. Thus, groups of people will be set up in settlements, which will include teachers, doctors, representatives of local authorities, business community and police to identify problems in the community and find solutions to solve them. This approach aims at changing the perception of the police by society: from a structure that applies punishments to one that primarily takes care of citizens.

Also, the document sees the APC duties in the modernization and reform of police, and is meant to bring police and society closer.

At the same time, the action plan includes several goals, such as: the elaboration of the methodology for piloting the concept of community police activity and its implementation, and the public promotion of APC by the territorial police inspectorates.

The Interior Ministry is responsible for the enforcement of this decision.
