UK officials in Ukraine have conducted a training course for investigative and operational units of the Kyiv police.

According to the communications department of the Kyiv police, a special program was developed for Ukrainian law enforcement officers, taking into account the specifics of their work.

Liaison officer of the National Crime Agency of Britain Patrick Torkington spoke about the common types of organized crime in the UK. He stressed that such trainings are very important for policemen.
