Governmental corruption and police misconduct are all too common in emerging democracies. Wide-spread governmental corruption results in a loss of public confidence in the government, a lack of respect for law enforcement, and a loss of economic development opportunities. When working with law enforcement bodies, our anti-corruption efforts are focused on four areas: education, prevention, enforcement and accountability.
TEG has worked with the Ministry of the Interior in Ukraine to devise and implement strategies to reduce law enforcement corruption and misconduct. The anti-corruption project in the Ukraine focused on these areas: implementing procedures and policies to make the police more accountable to the public for their actions; increasing the level of transparency related to how law enforcement polices itself to stop corruption and misconduct; and developing awareness with in the national police regarding the need to reduce the level of corruption and misconduct.
