In St. Petersburg, it was proposed to provide the police with electric scooters for work in the urban environment. This initiative was put forward by Pavel Krupnik, a deputy of the Legislative Assembly of the city, who sent a corresponding appeal to the Minister of Internal Affairs, Vladimir Kolokoltsev.
According to Krupnik, officers of the patrol service and other units should be issued electric scooters or other mobile means capable of effectively pursuing offenders using individual transport in dense urban areas.
He also proposed considering the possibility of launching an unmanned patrol service using drones. This, he said, would reduce the burden on personnel and allow them to focus on combating crime and preventing violations.
Earlier, the Ministry of Transport announced the preparation of changes to the traffic rules, according to which users of individual means of transportation will be equated to drivers with established rights and obligations.
