“At present significant reforms are being implemented in the structure of Armenia’s Traffic Police. Unfortunately, we did not manage to provide the World Bank’s participation in the reforms,” he said and added that the negotiations with the WB were conducted two years ago, however, they had no positive results.
He said that the WB participation would have made the reforms of the Traffic Police more effective and significant. However, Ishkanyan assured that the reforms will be conducted irrespective of the WB participation.
“There already exist corresponding decisions in this direction, and by order of Head of Armenia’s Police financial assistance was provided on purchasing corresponding vehicles with fixation video equipment,” Ishkanyan said. He said that it is also envisaged to build an operative center of Traffic Police.
He said that only mobile police posts will remain in the structure of the Traffic Police, all the other sentry posts that did not justify themselves will be taken away, except those located near well-guarded facilities. Ishkanyan also pointed out that the Traffic Police lacks personnel, in particular, only in Yerevan there are 80-100 vacancies.
