The Interior Ministry of Ukraine in the framework of the criminal police reform intends to initiate establishing of the Detective Institute, while delegating investigation of minor offenses to district policemen.

"Most likely, we will make a suggestion to the parliament members to give consent to the establishment of the Dective Institute. We need to integrate into one policeman the functions of investigator and interrogator," the press service of the ministry quoted Interior Minister Arsen Avakov on the official Facebook page on Wednesday.

The Interior Ministry plans to delegate investigation of minor offenses to district policemen who will turn into multi purpose policemen.

We will ask members of parliament to adopt the corresponding law. Petty offences will be dealt with with a minimum of time and bureaucracy, Avakov said.
