The vast majority of Albanians feel safe in the country. This is the result of a survey conducted with the support of the Swedish Embassy on the level of security and trust in the State Police.
Prime Minister Edi Rama also spoke about this fact in a meeting with the leaders of the blue uniforms held at the Ministry of Interior, where the survey findings were presented, writes A2. Rama took the opportunity to reject all accusations or claims of political opponents about security issues: "If you read what is said, what is written about the State Police, in fact this would be a place for everyone to run away. In fact, the figures and facts speak completely the opposite. 82% of citizens feel safe or very safe in Albania today. Only 4% of citizens have been victims of theft or physical attack in the last 5 years. 65% of citizens evaluate the work of the Police as good or very good."
But, when citizens are asked about their personal relationship with police officers, the experience does not leave a good taste. According to the survey, 53% of those questioned expressed a negative assessment. For this, the Prime Minister showed the blue uniforms, especially the Traffic Police, how they should behave with citizens: "A police officer is there to protect them without question, to help them and to respect them unconditionally even when that citizen is in the wrong and not to scare them, to ignore them, or to worry them with useless gestures and useless words, which unfortunately happens and does not happen once or twice, it is happening more often. Then we can say that we have won the battle of battles for the democratic transformation of Albania. And the battle of battles is respect".
The head of government believes that technology will help security in the country and the work of the State Police. He announced that funding has been secured for camera surveillance in 20 cities as well as the first 200 km of national roads. (A2 Televizion)
