Georgia Celebrates Police Day

Today Georgia celebrates a professional day in honor of policemen. The special event at the Internal Ministry Office was started by the Minister of Internal Affairs, Giorgi Mghebrishvili. He congratulated the policemen and thanked them for their hard work and bravery. “We are step by step becoming the part of the Western world and international police cooperation is crucial to this purpose,” the minister said.

Despite many daily challenges, you believe that you serve the greater good and contribute to justice and a better future for our children and our citizens. Thank you very much for this," he said during his address to the policemen.
