According to the Supreme Audit Office, actions taken by the Police helped improve safety on the roads. 35 385 accidents took place in 2013, whereas in 2012 it was as many as 37 046. 3 291 people died on the roads in 2013 - 280 fewer than a year before (in 2012 it was 3 571). Especially positively NIK evaluates the organisation and execution of nationwide and regional preventive measures, especially the ones targeting drunk and speeding drivers. A positive finding of NIK is also a 6 percent increase in full-time jobs for traffic police officers. In the coming future, the Police may improve effectiveness of its actions. In order to do it, however, they need to eliminate errors and irregularities identified by NIK.
