Acting Interior Minister Dorin Recean has announced on his FB page he is leaving the public sector to take a job in the private one, IPN reports.
“As my ministerial tenure comes to an end, let me thank you all for your trust and support shown to the MoI reform. In the last four years and four months, we worked together with the new team and with experienced MoI subdivision managers towards transforming the Ministry and the Police into institutions akin to those in Europe, institutions that serve the citizen, institutions that are transparent, open and friendly”, said Dorin Recean, adding that while the MoI reform was met with criticism in the beginning, now the public trust in the police is higher.
Recean said he had several major goals when taking charge of the MoI: to build institutional capacity and help implement the action plan on visa liberalization and on improving public trust in the police. “At the end of the tenure, we can see progress in both directions. We achieved this by adopting and implementing a new Law and a new structure for the MoI and its subdivisions. We achieved an unprecedented provision of the Ministry with state-of-the-art equipment. We replaced the uniforms and insignia, and changed procedures and modi operandi”, reads the FB post.
For the future, according to Recean, the MoI has a concrete action plan and the financial endorsement necessary for a constant growth of the public trust (by at least 5% annually), for equipping the staff to meet the European standards, for reducing police response times to a maximum of 15 minutes in any corner of the country, and for ensuring staff integrity across the MoI system.
