Public Safety village is aimed for pupils. Village is arranged on the police base and serves to raise awareness among pupils and adolescents in emergency management issues. At the safety village pupils are taught practical habits to prevent and manage emergency situations.
Within the frames of the official visit Giorgi Mgebrishvii conducted patrolling activities on Atlanta state highways along with the local policemen. “For me the main condition for prevention of road accidents is the awareness raising. We assume that law-abiding citizens should be brought up from the very childhood in kinder gardens and school age. US police has a rich experience in traffic movement administration, crime fighting and in the field of emergency situations management. I wish Georgian police to be constantly involved in the process of education to implement novelties for making our work even more effective. Therefore, the most important thing is to share experience from our American counterparts. You may know about our close cooperation with the US state of Georgia. Within the frames of this friendship and cooperation a series of interesting projects have been implemented and this fruitful cooperation will continue in the future”-state Minister Mgebrishvili.
