POLICE REFORM
1.
2.
3.
To shift the criteria for evaluating the performance of police officers from crime detention rate
to a system based on public trust and safety. Within the framework of the police reform, it is
imperative that police performance indicators be reformed. The importance of quantitative
indicators should, without further delay, be lowered significantly. The performance evaluation
system should include a public opinion poll on police work that should be carried out by
independent institutions. Within the framework of this reform, more modern comprehensive
indicators for evaluating police performance must be considered, such as the feeling of safety
among the public, appraisal of police work (general evaluation, satisfaction with their work,
and satisfaction with communication), evaluation of latent crimes and evaluation of the scale of
human rights violations.
Not only should the leadership of the MoI declare zero tolerance toward torture, but they
should also denounce the use of torture and provide real-life cases when this crime was
committed by police officers along with punishment that ensued afterwards.
The MoI should inform the public on a regular basis about cases of torture (publish such
information in criminal news sections) and reports of the offence called “torture” and cruel
treatment by police officers.

issues related to inconsistency between national legislation and practices and international
standards in the course of educational activities. Such academic curricula should also include
all decisions of the UN Human Rights Committee regarding the Kyrgyz Republic and other
decisions of UN treaty bodies and the European Court of Human Rights related to torture, and
obligations to investigate torture and cruel treatment.
