Precinct officers were reinforced with unemployed

In Rostov-on-Don, the city employment service began sending the unemployed to help local police officers. At first, they were assigned the simplest duties: the unemployed registered citizens' statements, delivered summonses, conducted office work, and inspected attics and basements of high-rise buildings. The first experience turned out to be so successful that in the near future the number of unemployed people employed in this type of work will double. It is expected that soon they will not only be on duty at police strongholds, but also patrol the streets of Rostov.

When Rostov, like many other large Russian cities, was overwhelmed by anti-terrorist measures, local police officers did not physically have time to inspect the basements and attics of high-rise buildings, check the signals of vigilant citizens who responded to the request of law enforcement officers and brought down on the police a flood of reports of all sorts of suspicious objects. And then it was decided to send the unemployed to help the police, for whom the inspection of attics and basements became a unique form of public works. A corresponding agreement was signed between the Rostov Department of Internal Affairs and the city employment service, and from that moment the unemployed became assistants to local police inspectors.

Now Muscovites are interested in the Rostov experiment. It is quite possible that the experience of Rostov residents will spread to other Russian cities.
