It is necessary to implement measures to identify and terminate the activities of criminal groups and individuals who commit serious and especially serious crimes, measures to reduce the level of illegal handling of weapons, ammunition or explosives; illegal production, manufacture, acquisition, storage, transportation or shipment of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances or their analogues without the purpose of sale; illegal production, manufacture, acquisition, storage, transportation or shipment for the purpose of sale, as well as illegal sale of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances or their analogues; measures to counteract violations of road safety rules or transport operation by persons driving vehicles and measures to counteract fraud.
There is also a need to take measures to prevent juvenile delinquency.
The emergence of these negative trends was contributed by:
- external factors, in particular: the armed attack of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine, the temporary occupation of part of the district's territory, a decrease in the population due to evacuation to other regions of the country, the introduction of a curfew, socio-economic factors, which led to an imbalance in the system of work of the economy and finances, employment of the population, the education processes of children and youth, and caused an increase in the unemployment rate, a decrease in incomes of the population, an increase in prices for goods and services;
- proximity to the zone of military operations;
- significant involvement of personnel in ensuring public security and order, primarily in the deoccupied territory, duty at checkpoints, the difficulty of conducting investigative actions, operational measures in conditions of artillery shelling and aerial bombing, the impossibility of conducting a pre-trial investigation in the temporarily occupied territory;
- facts of the removal of weapons from military units and their entry into illegal circulation;
- the border location of the region, which causes a high level of cross-border crime related to human trafficking, illegal migration, and drug crime.
Internal factors of police work are related to: the lack of criteria for evaluating the work of a police officer, the lack or imperfection of internal control over the areas of police work, staff turnover, and insufficient technical support for police work.
The activities of the Chuguiv RUP of the Main Police Department in the Kharkiv region are based on the principles of the rule of law, respect for human rights and freedoms, openness and transparency, political neutrality, interaction with the population on the basis of partnership, as well as continuity.
