The person Vasil Mihaylov is wanted on a report of bodily harm and threats. The Ministry of Interior-Pernik is working on the case, as well as the General Directorate of the Gendarmerie. He is wanted throughout the country. This was stated by the Minister of the Interior Daniel Mitov in the program “Since the Day“ on BNT.
The problems are complex and have been accumulating for years. The training of employees has been neglected. At the General Directorate of the “Gendarmerie“ we are creating a unit for training inspectors who will train employees, which will be periodic. The wearing of body cameras is the other topic that was commented on. They protect the police officers, he pointed out.
Mitov specified that he had not spoken to the two police officers from Varna. The explanation is that the battery ran out. Today we talked about that such an excuse will not be respected, if necessary, more batteries will be purchased. The body camera protects the police officer and disciplines him, he said.
It is necessary to continue to provide for the police officers so that they can do their job. Tasers and tactical vests will be purchased so that they can wear their cameras, the Minister of the Interior emphasized.
I have not hesitated to make personnel changes. I will continue to make them when necessary. No one is subscribed to their position. The trust of the Varna public in the police had to be restored. I also know how difficult it is for the police, but at the same time I will not tolerate actions that are incompatible with the police profession, Daniel Mitov is categorical.
On the day the recording came out, I myself was not happy. It is normal for the opposition to be unhappy and to demand my resignation. The point is to solve the systemic problems in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he explained.
Daniel Mitov commented on the topic of the appointment of the Secretary General of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. “The appointment of a Secretary General is a coordination procedure between the president and the Council of Ministers. After the president wants this to be in writing - a person will be proposed to him. I will propose the candidate“.
Measures have been taken due to the conflict in the Middle East. The border is being approached with great caution. Observations are being carried out for radical elements that could pose a risk to our country. At the moment there are no risks for us, the Minister of the Interior assured.
