There are new tasks ahead

However, we would like to start a subject on the events of international importance taken place in the capital city before the statistical indicators of the fight against criminality. The reason is that being held of these events must be considered the most obvious example of a successful fight against crime and a secure social stability in Baku. It is known that no international organization would accept candidacy of any country intending to hold a public event where there is no stability.

One of the most important events was undoubtedly the IV Islamic Solidarity Games in the last year. To put it more figuratively, last year, the pulse of the whole Islamic world was beating in Baku.

The political dividend of the Islamiada is considered gathering of a record number of countries in Baku. That was accepted as the expression of trust and reliance on and respect to Azerbaijan. Observers regard it as a sign of Azerbaijan’s international reputation and a factor to further strengthen the friendly relations between countries.

There is probably no need to especially highlight that hosting international public events creates exceptional opportunities to make known the tourism potential of countries. It is a long established method which has proven itself. Last year, the noticeable increase in the number of tourists from Islamic countries, especially Arabia, in Baku, as well as the surrounding regions became its proof. The economists are predicting that the tourists travelling and the currency incoming from those countries which participated in the solidarity games will increase. It is believed that the competitions made a good promotion of Azerbaijan in Islamic countries and consequently this affects the economic growth.

Besides, the consecutively held races of Formula 1 Grand Prix of Europe attracted world’s attention as a sporting event of which security was provided to the high level, too. In general, as the internationally important events could only be held in safe security conditions, it makes a great chance in regard to attract foreign investors. The International Financial Institutions avoid not only investing their funds in an unstable place, but also coming close to any country where the risk is expected for the nearest years, at all. Foreign investment comes to a country in case of stability and holding international public events serves as a kind of guarantee of safety for its promotion. In this regard, both Islamiada and “F-1” races gave the opinion of existence of a consistent stability and a safe security in Azerbaijan to the whole world once again.

All of the foregoing shows that Baku is a city which distinguishes with its stability not only among the regional countries, but also across the world and it is capable to host any international event. Of course, such reliance of the world is acquired by the authorities of internal affairs and the Baku police along with other power structures of the state.

It is obviously seen from the statistics too. It was said in the operational conference, held in Baku City Main Police Department, which was dedicated to the results of the 9 months of 2017 that 9148 crimes had been recorded by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the procurators’ office in the capital city within the 9 months of the mentioned year, 83.2 percent of which were less severe crimes that do not pose a great danger on the society. 94.5 percent of 1316 crimes against person, including 95.5 percent of intentional homicides, 100 percent of assassination attempts had been uncovered.

Last year, for the interest rate of being uncovered have been developed by 4.3 percent in crimes against property, 1.3 percent in burglaries from apartments, 31.3 percent in motor vehicle theft, 12.9 percent in robberies, and 5.9 percent in banditry in relation to the relevant period of time.

In general, it is a big achievement if more than 80-90 percent of the committed crimes are uncovered. Those who are somehow aware of the Police work know that to uncover crimes with such a high percentage becomes possible in the result of a hard work.

A safe stability prevails over the whole territory of the country, including the capital, and without denying the service of the other law enforcement bodies we can say that the hard work of the police stands behind this success. And the successes do not create any confidence, but rather put forward new tasks.
