The Russian Interior Minister held a meeting in Irkutsk

In Irkutsk, Russian Interior Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev held a meeting on optimizing staffing in the Interior Ministry and met with regional leaders and the regional police chief. He stressed that cutting district units is unacceptable, since they work directly with people and ensure public safety. He also said lower level units must not be reduced by a single post, and the territorial chief is personally responsible.

Russia’s Minister of Internal Affairs, Police Colonel-General Vladimir Kolokoltsev, visited Irkutsk. He held a meeting devoted to issues of optimizing staffing levels in the law enforcement agency.
Vladimir Kolokoltsev held a meeting with the acting governor of the Irkutsk Region, Sergey Eroshchenko, and the head of the regional Main Directorate of the Russian Interior Ministry, Police Lieutenant General Andrey Kalishchuk.
As reported by the press center of the Russian Interior Ministry, Vladimir Kolokoltsev pointed out the inadmissibility of reducing the territorial bodies of the Russian Interior Ministry at the district level. After all, these services work directly with the population, and the most important task of law enforcement agencies is to ensure the safety of citizens.
Also, the minister emphasized that the staffing levels of lower-level units must not be reduced by a single position. The head of the territorial body bears personal responsibility for this.
