More than 2800 volunteer patrollers are engaged in public work in the region, closely cooperating with territorial internal affairs bodies. With the participation of volunteer patrollers from Vitebsk region, 858 administrative offenses were suppressed; 312 residences under the control of territorial internal affairs bodies were inspected; 826 individuals undergoing preventive measures were visited; 9 wanted individuals were identified.
The work of volunteer patrols was highly praised by the First Deputy Head of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Regional Executive Committee, Head of Public Security Police, Colonel Alexey Shakhovich:
– The assistance of volunteer police auxiliaries is very important in everyday life, as well as during events of national and regional significance. You helped maintain public order during the Unified Voting Day in February 2024 and will again do so during the upcoming presidential elections, ensuring the safety of our citizens on the streets of cities and small towns through overtime work. One cannot be forced to be a volunteer patroller – one becomes one by the call of the heart, for which we thank you very much!
