The Soros Foundation Moldova (SFM), in partnership with the General Police Inspectorate, has launched the Guidebook on Human Rights-Based Policing and the Police Standard Operating Procedures. The new Police Standard Operating Procedures were devised in the framework of the Advancing Human Rights-Based Policing in the Republic of Moldova Project that is financed by the European Union and is co-financed by the FSM, IPN reports.
Soros Foundation Moldova executive director Petru Culeac said the implementation of these procedures will be one more step towards advancing police reforms. The reforms should contribute to increasing the correctness and efficiency of the Police and the people’s trust in the Police. “I mentioned the word ‘trust’ not accidently.
EU Ambassador to Moldova Peter Michalko welcomed the devising of the Guidebook on Human Rights-Based Policing, noting that the respect for the basic human rights should become an integral part of the DNA of the Police in the Republic of Moldova. “We hope the Police during the election campaign will act as a neutral agent all over the country and will work in the interests of the people and society in general. For the international community and also for the European Union, given the priorities agreed through the current EU – Moldova Association Agenda, this will be one of the important points to be followed,” said the ambassador.
