Police receive 17 rapid intervention vehicles with German support
The National Police has received 17 mobile units, enabling officers to document cases, coordinate interventions, and manage various situations directly on-site. These units are equipped with modern technology, allowing for real-time information processing. As a result, police officers will be able to offer rapid support to citizens without being tied to a fixed office location.
There are over 170 police stations in the Republic of Moldova where citizens can go to file complaints or request assistance. However, new mobile teams aim to improve this situation. With the introduction of mobile units, police officers will be able to reach villages more easily. One such mobile station will be used by police officers in Peresecina, located in the Orhei district.
“This is a benefit for both police officers and citizens because the mobile station is equipped with everything necessary to document incidents, interview citizens, and be more accessible. It includes a work table and a computer, and there is also a designated area to apply protective measures for individuals in case we encounter a more aggressive person,” said Marin Scripnic, head of the station at the Orhei Police Inspectorate.
Alexandru Rusu, a police officer in the Râșcani district, points out that only four police stations serve 55 localities in his region, with some of these localities being more than 50 kilometers away from the nearest police sector.
“A vehicle like this would be desirable for every police sector, as there are localities that are distant from police offices. It is essential to have a presence in these areas at least every two days to listen to the needs of the people,” said Alexandru Rusu, head of the Public Security Section at the Râșcani Police Inspectorate.
The authorities plan to deploy such mobile units across all districts of the country.
“These mobile stations are essential everywhere because they represent the first mobile police sector in the Republic of Moldova. Everything needed is included inside, even a weapon safe,” stated Viorel Cernăuțeanu, head of the General Inspectorate of Police.
In addition to the mobile stations, the police have been equipped with 340 car video systems that enhance the documentation of interventions and increase transparency in patrol activities. Additional equipment for public communication and information analysis, as well as 30 IT workstations for processing and analyzing data related to criminal investigations, has also been provided.
This equipment was purchased with funding of over 1.2 million euros provided by the German Government.
