The General Police Inspectorate has bought ten Ford Tranzit cars for transporting arrested persons under investigation. The contracts for the delivery of the vehicles were signed recently as a result of a tender contest. The vehicles are to be delivered in the nearest future.
In a response to IPN News Agency, the chief of the General Police Inspectorate Alexandru Panzari said the units of transport possessed by the Inspectorate are old. The new acquisition will help improve the safe transportation of arrestees and create appropriate working conditions for the police employees involved in this process.
Last December, the Government and the European Commission signed an agreement for financing the police reform to the value of €2 million. The modernization of remand prisons and temporary detention cells of police inspectorates and renewal of vehicles for transporting investigated persons are among the measures planned to be carried out within this reform.
