It’s good that such meetings take place in the church. I wonder if there was a specific discussion about how priests can help train police officers?

It is good that the meeting was held in the church of Matrona in Dmitrovsky. I wonder if they talked about the spiritual support of police officers during their training, or more about formal interaction. Georgy, have you heard anything specific about this?

Yes, in church such conversations turn out to be more humane. Father Dimitri often helps with spiritual and moral preparation, especially when it comes to working with families and in stressful situations. What else do you think the priest could offer to the police?
