structure’s bodies and subdivisions. It was noted, last year a number

information of the NKR chief of police in the current year a number
of crimes directed to the public security, public order and people’s
health, economic activity and state authority, service and governing
order has increased. By the mentioned crimes an increase has been fixed

(from 39 – to 54), making, keeping and realizing fake coins and shares
(from 0 – to 5), contraband (from 0 – to 2), using violence against
representatives of the authority (from 6 – to 7). By the assurance
of R. Shaferyan, the facts and numbers testify, that people still
have certain number of illegal arms and ammunitions.

Touching upon the testimonial of socio-demographical crime in the
republic, the chief of police has noted, that in the current year
an increase of number of persons committing crimes in the way of
criminal search has been fixed (from 290 – to 381), 345 of them have
been submitted to criminal liability, and 36 – have been gotten off
with criminal liability. Representing the works done by bodies of
the police in the direction of crimes’ revelation, it has been noted,
that in the current year the index of crimes’ revelation fixed in
all the ways has increased by 1.8 per cent, but the index of crimes’
revelation fixed in the way of criminal search has increased by
4.9 per cent. The NKR chief of police has considered satisfactory
the results of works done in the direction of crimes’ revelation on
criminal cases being suspended in the previous years. Touching upon
the crimes connected with narcotics, R. Shaferyan has noted, that in
2009 54 cases of such crimes have been exposed – against 39 of the
previous year. Owing to the measures taken by the subdivisions of
the NKR police works of finding out the missing and search of persons
avoiding inquest and trail have been definitely improved.
