Summing up the results of the competition, Yuri Krivov mentioned its importance.

“The city has been holding this contest for a few years now, and supports the representatives of people in uniform, who work directly with the citizens. This work is very important.

One of the main roles here belongs to a district police officer,” Yuri Krivov said.
