maintained stable controllable situation in the mentioned period. In
the period concerned 152 offences were reported against 167 of the

revelation was improved by 12 percent. The police bodies revealed 7
cases of drug crimes against 4 in the first trimester of 2003. 3
cases of confiscation of weapon and ammunition were reported. In the
same period citizens voluntarily handed in 14 guns. Another important
thing is that the two reported cases of murder were revealed, and the
rate of revelation of cases dismissed in the previous years
increased. The department of criminal investigation of the
administration of operational services promoted cooperation with the
town department of police and the regional departments. As a result
10 crimes were revealed against 1 in the first trimester of 2003. The
group for investigation for criminals and missing people discovered
and extradited 2 criminals who were outside the republic; one of them
was found with the assistance of the Stepanakert town department. The

order, interrogation, as well as a number of subdivisions and
agencies and pointed out the drawbacks and mistakes. The results of
the operational consultation were summed up by the head of the NKR
Police, lieutenant-general of police Armen Isagulov. In his address
the head of the system dwelled on the necessity of correcting the
faults in the activities of separate subdivisions and agencies, and
indicating their causes. He stressed the idea that the operational
agencies should come in closer cooperation with local inspectors, and
the heads of certain subdivisions must improve the mechanisms of
control thus promoting the general progress. Corresponding

medals for "Long Service in the Police" on a number of members of the
