Kolokoltsev discussed the fight against cybercrime with graduates of the University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs

Russian Interior Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev on Monday, June 9, held an informal meeting with graduates of the University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, where issues of combating cybercrime were discussed.

The event was attended not only by graduates of the Moscow University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but also by cadets from other regions, which allowed us to create a truly All-Russian platform for discussing the future of the law enforcement system.

"We have more than 4,000 graduates of 23 higher education institutions and their branches in touch with us. The Ministry has established and developed a system of multi-level continuous training of personnel. Over 130,000 people are constantly studying at educational institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs," Kolokoltsev said.

During the meeting, special attention was paid to cybersecurity issues. The public's trust in the police was also discussed, which has increased from 34% to 68% over the past 10 years due to the openness of the department's work.

"The level is quite high today, this is due to the openness of the work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, because any information that appears today must be studied by the press service staff," explained Anatoly Kucherena, chairman of the Public Council at the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.

It is noted that reports on the daily activities of the police contributed to a closer acquaintance of citizens with law enforcement agencies.

"The work is organized, as I understand it, all over the country, and in each territorial unit there are representatives who are responsible for working with the press. The police is the largest agency in our country and the most important," added Vladimir Tyulin, General Director of Izvestia.

Kolokoltsev, in turn, added that the quality of education meets modern challenges, and the number of graduates is increasing every year.

To protect their credentials, 39% of Russians surveyed set up two-factor identification wherever or almost wherever possible. However, 42% do this only in mission-critical services.
