The Rivne region has become the fifth region of Ukraine, having implemented the Hromada Police Officer project. Within it last year 27 AHs concluded a Memorandum on Collaboration with the Police. 30 police officers have already been trained and started performing their duties in hromadas.

The project is aimed at providing each hromada with a police officer to live and work there.

As the police officer will be his/her hromada representative, being partly responsible for his/her work financial support, the officer will report not only to the authorities but also to the AH residents.

Police officers of the Rivne region have rather quickly proven that they are needed by the hromadas.
