EU NEIGHBOURS . Over 200 senior police officers in six regions of Ukraine are expected to undergo the ‘Corruption Prevention Restrictions and Financial Control’ programme by the end of March 2020. This is a joint initiative of the European Union Advisory Mission (EUAM) and the Corruption Prevention and Lustration Department of the National Police of Ukraine that aims to bring police officers up to speed with anti-corruption legislation.
The programme will be delivered in Odesa, Kharkiv, Nikopol, Zhytomyr and Mariupol, and started with a seminar on anti-corruption measures for police in the Lviv region this week.
The seminar in Lviv was attended by 46 heads of departments and other police units in the region.
The event provided the police with a legislation update on conflicts of interest and other corruption prevention restrictions and responsibilities such as the financial control requirements, the disclosure of information and the acceptance of gifts.
