On 25 June 2019, in its annual report, Council of Europe anti-corruption body (GRECO) reviewed action taken by its 49 member states against corruption in 2018. While the report focused on corruption prevention in respect of MPs, judges and prosecutors, as well as in central governments and law enforcement agencies, it featured good practice in Estonia in relation to the work of law enforcement, including in the migration context.

Various measures are in place in Estonia to manage the risk of corruption and misconduct. These include the application of the four-eyes principle in services where there is a higher risk of corruption (migration services, services dealing with residence cards and permits, etc.), as well as for police patrols (i.e. patrols by a single police officer are not permitted), cameras at certain workplaces (i.e. where officials have frequent contacts with the public), IT log checks, the prohibition on cash transactions to pay fines (with the use of cash being only permitted in surveillance activities), and the responsibility of line managers and supervisors to ensure good behaviour of their subordinates. As of the beginning of 2018, all patrol officers are being equipped with body-worn cameras, to ensure appropriate behaviour in their contacts with the public.
