The Ministry of Internal Affairs continues to work to strengthen the principle of "Law and Order" in society, raise the legal awareness of citizens and prevent drug offenses.
The police department has taken an important step towards the implementation of this principle - for the first time, a Council for the Prevention of Drug Offenses has been established.
The main goal of the Council is to strengthen measures to prevent drug addiction and illegal drug trafficking in the country.
The organization includes representatives of civil society. This allows them to actively participate in preventive measures, as well as contribute to solving the problem in the regions. Joining forces of state structures and public organizations is of great importance.
The first working meeting of the Council for the Prevention of Drug Offenses, established under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was held.
- The event was held within the framework of strengthening and strengthening the fight against drug crime and prevention at the national level. The meeting discussed the work plan of the council, as well as the possibilities of creating similar councils in the regions. This will allow for effective coordination of forces and means in local areas. The direction of work has been determined, measures have been specified to prevent drug crimes and eliminate factors that attract the younger generation to the drug environment, - noted Sergey Ilyinykh, Deputy Head of the Department of the Committee for Combating Drug Crimes of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The work of the General Council, in addition to conducting prevention, is aimed at ensuring the active participation of society and state bodies in it.
In January 2025, the police identified more than 700 drug offenses, 1,257 drug sites with drug advertising were blocked, including 15 drop-cards. In addition, 76 channels and bots distributing information about drugs were eliminated. Over 800 kg of drugs were seized in a month, including 29 kg of synthetics and 5 tons of precursors.
