The President received the report of the Minister of Internal Affairs, Igor Shunevich. The complex of actions that were taken in this area by the state had a positive effect on the overall situation in the country. The number of crimes has decreased - people have less reason to appeal to the police. And this trend persists. Particular attention was paid to the last high-profile event in the bank of Mogilev. Brilliant operation! This is the assessment of the President. The brutal attack of the robber was stopped with lightning speed. The decision of the Head of State: everyone who has risked his life, will be awarded.
The President pays attention to the work of law enforcement agencies no less than to the economy, industry or the social sphere. And that's why the President especially looks at the selection of personnel in this sphere, carefully studying all the proposals for candidatures.
Just at the beginning of the week, they decided on the key figure in Minsk police. The capital's police is now headed by Sergei Doroshko.
As for the whole, the situation in the country, it is stable. The number of crimes decreases. From the beginning of the year, the internal affairs bodies received 11 percent fewer applications than in 2016. The number of murders, robberies has decreased. The number of crimes on illicit drug trafficking decreased by 17%. And in general, there were fewer serious and especially grave crimes.
Separately, the head of state dwelt on the organization of labor of prisoners in prisons. As Igor Shunevich said, more than 90 percent of prisoners are provided with work.
