As Realnoe Vremya found out, Kazan plans to increase spending on the prevention of offenses and crimes. The Executive Committee of the city has amended the resolution as of December 4, 2015. Despite that the costs of fighting crime will increase by tens of millions of rubles, the expected results from the implementation of the programme will remain at the level of 2021 — that was when it was last updated. Read the details in the material.

Costs for this year turned out to be by 40,16% higher

Financing of the programme is carried out at the expense of the funds from budgets of various levels, including city, and extra-budgetary sources. As mentioned above, it was developed at the end of 2015, its implementation began in 2016, and the programme was calculated until 2025. During this time, almost 1,5 billion rubles were spent on it:

  • in 2016 — 117,1 million rubles;
  • in 2017 — 191,1 million rubles;
  • in 2018 — 230 million rubles;
  • in 2019 — 248,9 million rubles;
  • in 2020 — 236,5 million rubles;
  • in 2021 — 198,9 million rubles;
  • in 2022 — 271,1 million rubles.

Initially, it was planned that from 2023 to 2025, 206,4 million rubles would be allocated annually for its implementation. However, according to the new document, the amount of funding will increase:

  • in 2023 — 289,3 million rubles;
  • in 2024 — 249,4 million rubles;
  • in 2025 — 257,1 million rubles.

Thus, the costs of carrying out various activities aimed at combating crime have been significantly increased. For example, the volume of expenditures this year turned out to be by 40,16% higher than planned, and 6,71% more than in the past (by 45,45% more than in 2021).

Activities and goals will remain the same
