Do Latvians Trust Their Police?

Nope





One tenth (11%) of economically active Latvian residents aged from 18 to 55 years are of opinion that within the last year there were carried out necessary reforms to improve general situation in police structures.
Among them, 1% of respondents think that there were definitely carried out necessary reforms to improve general situation in police structures, and 10% – that they were rather carried out, reveals a survey which was done in January by the market, public opinion and media research agency TNS Latvia together with television company LNT.
But slightly more that a half (56%) of respondents are of opposite opinion and think that there were not carried out necessary reforms. Among them, 41% of respondents are confident that there were rather not carried out any reforms, but 15% think that they were definitely not carried out.
Relatively large number – one third (33%) of respondents do not have a certain opinion in this issue.
A year has passed since the robbery in Jekabpils when five men, two of which were Tukums police officers and two officers of Alfa team, tried to rob the gambling hall. Analysing what had happened, several problems in internal structures were found and was carried out reorganizing of the Alfa team.
