In the course of patrol and guard service, 308 units of bladed and firearms were seized, and 153 cases of narcotic substance seizure were recorded.

Special attention in the activities of the National Guard is paid to ensuring the security of penal enforcement institutions. Guard units provide security for 39 penal institutions and one industrial facility, as well as escorting convicts and detainees along 10 railway and 25 road routes.

Since the beginning of the year, 132 attempts to throw prohibited items over the main fences of penal institutions have been prevented.
