In 2022, an expanded meeting of the collegium of the Ministry of Internal Affairs took place February 17. As part of his speech, the head of state, speaking about the significant tasks on which the department should focus, called an active offensive fight against crime the most important priority for the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Putin also focused on the task of a “drastic” increase in the level of detection of crimes. “According to the results of the last year [2021 г.] Unfortunately, it has not yet been possible to achieve qualitative changes here. This means that we need consistent, more effective work on all types of crimes that pose a threat to our society,” the president said. According to him, we are also talking about new challenges that are associated with the penetration of crime into the field of information technology and telecommunications.
