Ukrainian police in the Donbas received metal detectors as a gift from the United States
The National Police of Ukraine in the Donetsk region received 70 mobile metal detectors from the US Embassy, which will be used at the checkpoints, reported by Vyacheslav Abroskin, Chief of the Main Directorate of the Police in the region.
“Yesterday, my friends from the US Embassy handed 70 mobile Garrett metal detectors to the police of the Donetsk region, that in the near future will be handed over to the police for work at the checkpoints, a kind of outpost,” Abroskin wrote on his Facebook page.
“This will make it possible to more effectively detect weapons and ammunition that should not fall out of the ATO zone, Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts and into peaceful regions of Ukraine. We will also use mobile metal detectors during mass events in the region for greater security of civilians,” he added.
The head of the regional police said that two months ago he spoke with the Director of the Law Enforcement Section of the US Embassy in Ukraine, Christopher Smith. Among the problematic issues the discussed, he mentioned the lack of sufficient metal detectors at the checkpoints.
Vyacheslav Abroskin thanked the international partners for the support of the police in Donetsk region.
