Prime Minister Mihai Tudose has asked Interior Minister Carmen Dan for a report on measures after a police agent died from stabbing at Suceava railway station at the hands of a young man, official sources told agerpres. on Monday.
Simultaneously, the Interior Ministry management will be meeting representatives of all Police trade unions at the ministry's main offices starting at 10:30, EEST, while Prime Minister Tudose will welcome for talks a delegation of the National Trade Unions of Romanian Police Agents at the Government House at 11:00hrs, EEST.
Tudose and the trade unionists will focus on the rights and obligations of Police officers so that measures may be taken that will avoid instances such as the one that occurred in Suceava.
Tudose said on Saturday that no police agent will patrol alone anymore, and that the patrolling teams will be made up of four people.
"As far as I am concerned, I no longer want one-man patrolling teams. When there is just one police officer that has to patrol an area - and it is understood that the area has a criminal or negative potential - the officer is risking his or her life gratuitously. You cannot send them alone. Team will be dispatched, even mixed teams made up of police officers and gendarmes," Tudose told.
Police agent Sorin Vezeteu was stabbed to death on Thursday evening as he was on duty at the Railway Police precinct at the Burdujeni Station, Suceava County. The attacker, Ioan Besa, was put in police custody for 30 days.
