Comrades officers and generals, distinguished members of the bodies of internal affairs, dear veterans,

I wholeheartedly congratulate you on your professional holiday – Police Day.

Uncompromising counteraction to criminal infringements, daily protection of life and safety of citizens have earned law enforcement officers deep respect and great trust of the Belarusian people.

Continuing the glorious and heroic traditions of senior generations, members of the bodies of internal affairs fulfil their service duty with honour and dignity. Police officers have quite a few achievements under their belt, impressive track record of effective work in which they have demonstrated true courage, professionalism and high civil responsibility.

I am convinced that while fulfilling your tasks you will continue to serve an example of committed service to your nation. Belarusian citizens are confident in that they will always find help and support in you. You main task is to justify this confidence.

Good health, happiness and wellbeing to you and your loved ones.

Alexander Lukashenko
