EUBAM Strengthens Border Security: Ukraine State Border Guard Service Officers Complete “Vehicle Inspection” Training

        From 20-23 September, 15 Ukraine State Border Guard (UASBGS) officers participated in this comprehensive program, which took place at the joint border crossing point Palanca–Mayaki-Udobne. The course was conducted by certified trainers from the Polish National Revenue Administration, experts in the field of vehicle inspection.

        The primary objective of this training was to equip UASBGS officers with the skills necessary to become trainers themselves, proficient in conducting both theoretical and practical classes related to vehicle inspection. The curriculum covered a wide range of essential topics, including:

        Methodology: Teaching techniques and strategies for conducting engaging lectures and practical sessions.
        Document Verification: The verification of vehicle legality, examination of required documents, scrutiny of Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN), and methods of detecting counterfeiting and alterations.
        Technique and Tactics: In-depth exploration of technical aspects and tactical approaches to effective vehicle inspection.
        Smuggling Detection: Identification of hidden compartments within means of transport, a critical skill in combating smuggling.

        In addition to the training, EUBAM demonstrated its commitment to supporting border security by donating operational tools to the 25th Border Detachment. These tools are expected to significantly enhance border security measures, further strengthening the capabilities of the dedicated border guards.

        This collaboration between EUBAM and UASBGS underscores the commitment to maintaining security and efficiency along the border. The shared objective of ensuring the safety and well-being of the region remains a top priority.
