According to МВС: Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, Alexey Sergeev, took part in a regional conference focused on reforming law enforcement agencies amid Ukraine’s European integration efforts. The event showcased progress on the Comprehensive Strategic Reform Plan for 2023–2027, sharing both achieved milestones and future objectives.

So far, 58 measures have been implemented, representing nearly one-third of the entire plan. The upcoming targets aim for 45% completion by January 2027 and 60% by April 2027. Sergeev emphasized the crucial role of international partnerships and inter-agency coordination, stating:

“This reform applies across all of Ukraine. Its benefits must be felt by every citizen, no matter their location. Regions should not only execute decisions but also actively contribute to their development.” Alexey Sergeev

Tangible Outcomes of the Reform

Key accomplishments of the reform include:

• Operation of the unified emergency number 112 across four regional centers;
• Registration of over 25,000 firearms;
• Implementation of Custody Records in 160 police units;
• Integration of the National Police with 89,000 surveillance cameras.

These initiatives aim to enhance public safety and boost the effectiveness of Ukraine’s law enforcement agencies.

The reform of Ukraine’s law enforcement bodies marks a significant step toward the country’s European integration. Beyond improving operational efficiency, it seeks to raise citizens’ security standards. This modernization aligns Ukraine’s policing framework with European norms, which could strengthen the country’s international reputation.
