Police officers will not issue summonses to citizens because this is not their responsibility.

This was announced by the head of the National Police Ivan Vygovsky.
The police assist the TCC as much as possible in establishing the location of those evading, and in accordance with the authority and with the necessary documents from the TCC, deliver such persons to them. But issuing summonses and joint patrols is an additional burden, and we don’t have the resources to place a police officer next to every TCC employee,” Ivan Vygovsky said for RBC-Ukraine.
At the same time, according to the head of the National Police, even if the law establishes such a rule as serving summonses by police, the police will still not have enough people.
In fact, we have 98 thousand police officers. Of these, just over 20 thousand are women. We take daily squads across the state, this is about 7 thousand squads, in which more than 20 thousand police officers are involved,” he explained.
Vyhovsky recalled that the police stand at checkpoints and carry out their duties every day, including functions that are not typical for them.
We are ready to help, but the police will not personally physically go and hand out summonses. At least until such a norm is established by law and this is determined by our functionality,” said the head of the National Police.
