Optimization of the state of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will result in an increase in the number of police officers. This was reported to the "faces" by a senior official of the department. The 10 percent staff reduction will affect only the central apparatus and regional departments, the source said. Thus, funds will be released for hiring a larger number of basic employees.

“Conditionally,” the official explained, “for one salary of a colonel sitting in the office you can take three junior lieutenants who will work“ in the field ”, and thereby without increasing the budget to increase the efficiency of the police.”

In January, the Ministry of Finance sent a document to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which said the need to conduct budget optimization, the source said, "but there was, of course, there was no specific instructions, of course, there." On February 4, the head of the police department Vladimir Kolokoltsev held an expanded meeting of the board of the Ministry. “There is a further reduction in the number of internal affairs bodies,” he said to the audience. “Despite this, I believe that it is unacceptable for employees working on Earth.”

In 2011, during the transformation of the police to the police, reductions were also held at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the source recalled, 20 percent of the personnel were dismissed. However, then the abbreviations affected mainly sergeant rather than officers. As a result, there was a situation in which in remote areas of the country per district police officer there were territories of hundreds of square kilometers.

“This not only influenced the disclosure, but also led to mass layouts due to unbearable working conditions,” the official said. “In order not to repeat these mistakes, new abbreviations will be carried out exclusively among the officers.”

Meanwhile, other sources in the department noticed the "faces" that the police officers, when reduced along with the standard amount in the amount of two salaries, are laid for solid payments, in particular for the title and length of service. To reduce the appropriate expenses, the police continued, the leadership of the departments will create conditions that encourage dismissal of their own free will.

In particular, this, according to the interlocutors of the "faces", explainsthe prohibition of the department’s employees to travel abroad . This ban, according to the police, does not apply only to the CIS countries, except for Ukraine, and Abkhazia and South Ossetia torn by Georgia. Earlier, employees of the department could leave the country only with the permission of the immediate boss, and often refused these permits. Meanwhile, on February 17, the police officer officially announced the ban, and now no boss will be able to allow the subordinate trip abroad.
