Prevention, detection, investigation. Three main directions that guide the round-the-clock work of the Patrol Service, encompassing not only the operational response to administrative violations but also the fight against crimes.
In the first half of 2026, patrol officers uncovered 2,288 criminal cases.
As a result of effective measures taken, there has been an increase in both the cases of drug trafficking and the detection of illegally held weapons and ammunition. The number of drug detections has increased by 80 cases compared to the same period last year, reaching 1,300, while the detection of weapons and ammunition has increased by 35 cases, totaling 132 cases.
Cases of cold weapon detections have increased by 19.9 percent.
Due to the explanatory work carried out by patrol officers among the population, there has been an increase in the voluntary surrender of illegally held weapons and ammunition.
As a result of consistently implemented measures, cases of physical assault, hooliganism, theft, causing bodily harm, vehicle hijacking, and illegal logging have been uncovered.
The increase in the detection of counterfeit documents is also noteworthy. While 60 cases were recorded in the first half of last year, this year it has risen to 301, with 300 of those being cases of detecting counterfeit driver's licenses.
As a result of measures taken by patrol officers in the direction of locating wanted persons, 90 wanted individuals have been identified, compared to 51 during the same period last year.
The recorded positive indicators are not just numbers. Behind them is the round-the-clock work of patrol officers, responding quickly to every alert, consistently fighting against violations and crimes, and, most importantly, the responsibility for ensuring public safety.
