Study Visit to Temporary Detention Facility No. 3

As part of the cooperation with the Department for the Organisation of Activities of Temporary Detention Facilities and Monitoring of Actions with Detainees of the Main Department of the National Police in Khmelnytskyi Region, on 5 October 2026 Kateryna VLADOVSKA, Associate Professor of the Department, and fourth-year students of the Faculty of Law paid a study visit to Temporary Detention Facility No. 3 (Starokostiantyniv) of the Main Department of the National Police in Khmelnytskyi Region and Police Station No. 1 of the Khmelnytskyi District Police Department of the Main Department of the National Police in Khmelnytskyi Region (Starokostiantyniv). During the meeting, the students learned about the specific features of the work of police units, the organisation of duty service, the main areas of police work and the specifics of interaction between different services in day-to-day operations. The operation of modern video surveillance systems, security measures and the functioning of the Custody Records system were demonstrated. Common stereotypes were dispelled, and the students saw the actual level of compliance with the standards of the European Court of Human Rights in the temporary detention facility. We express our sincere gratitude to Major of Police Oleksandr VOISHCHEV, Head of Temporary Detention Facility No. 3, Captain of Police Andrii STUCHYNSKYI, Deputy Head, and Inspector Senior Lieutenant of Police Mykhailo IVANIUK for the informative sessions, the warm welcome and an unforgettable experience.
