In the current conditions of globalization, more and more new challenges and threats appear, the forms, methods and means of committing crimes are changing. Taking this into account, more than 100 legislative acts have been adopted in the country over the past two years.

In particular, the structure of internal affairs bodies has been reformed. “Safe City”, “Safe Tourism”, “Safe House” systems have been introduced, 24-hour patrol service has been established. As a result, crime last year has decreased by 33 percent.

As a result of taken measures, faith in justice and the rule of law are awakening in people. However, no one has the right to indulge in tranquility, much remains to be done, said the Head of the state.

At the meeting, the need was noted for bringing the work on curbing crime to a qualitatively new level. The Ministry of Internal Affairs was given instruction on development of a roadmap for eliminating the existing shortcomings based on in-depth analysis.
