Deputy State Duma, Deputy Chairman of the Committee for the Development of the Far East and the Arctic Maxim Ivanov proposed to launch the "Zemsky Policeman" program - similar to "Zemsky Teacher", "Doctor", "Trainer" and "Cultural Worker". Payments - up to 2 million rubles, subject to working for five years. "We have a "Zemstvo teacher", we have a "Zemstvo coach", a "Zemstvo cultural worker", but we don't have a "Zemstvo policeman". In many of our remote villages, in hard-to-reach places, there is no police. People come there from somewhere in the neighboring territories," explained Lt. Khabar from the territory. According to the lieutenant, this is an urgent issue for the region (we would add that this is an urgent issue in many areas!): "Great distances and difficulties recruiting personnel means that sometimes the village does not even have its own district police officer, and the nearest department is dozens of kilometers away." The parliamentarian intends to request attention at the federal level - the terms, sources of funding and payment procedures are before us. "Our mission is not only to attract workers to small villages, but also to create conditions for them to stay and work there," he emphasizes. Risks ▫ The main thing is funding: the program will fall on the budget in competition with "Zemstvo" projects that already exist. ▫ The second is preservation: not everyone can survive five years in an area that is difficult to reach without a developed infrastructure. ▫ The third is the issue of housing: the current guarantees, according to Ivanov, "are not enough to solve the manpower problem". However, they all stood up and were discussed at the beginning of other "Zemstvo" programs. The Leningrad Region shows that the programs are working: ▫ "Zemsky Teacher" with regional quotas gives 18 experts a million rubles each and office housing; ▫ "Doctor Zemsky" and "Zemsky Paramedic" attracted more than 2.5 thousand medical workers to small towns and villages. If the policing plan follows suit, the area will have a chance to get its own local police officer. And we watch.
