Re-subordinating of traffic police

The direction of the traffic police will be excluded from the general police Direction of Public Order of the Interior Ministry and will be directly subordinated to the vice-minister. A new autonomous direction – the Direction of Witnesses Protection and other participants in trials, based on those 22 unities, which deal with these problems, spread both within Ministry and in the services in territories, will also be created. The government has made changes in its previous decisions regarding the structure and regulation of the Interior Ministry, Info-Prim-Neo reports. Regarding the launch of the International Port Giurgiulesti and the Cahul-Giurgiulesti railway segment, the Cahul-based transport police office will be created from 24 unities, having the limit of a present effective and a statute of a deconcentrated service of the Ministry's transport police.
