It is a great honor and pride for me to have the opportunity to once again congratulate the Police Day to each of you - officers, privates, border guarder, rescuers, firefighters, Prime Minister of Georgia Giorgi Gakharia said while congratulating the employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs with the Police Day.

The Prime Minister stressed the importance of the police in all areas of public life and especially amid the pandemic.

"Doctors and police officers all worked together during 24 hours a day. 10,000 people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are involved in this process. When a person understands the importance of the work he/she is doing, he/she does it with more dignity, he feels more responsibility, he has more responsibility in the context of every citizen and generally fair steps, fair actions. This is of great importance. A country cannot develop, it cannot become a successful, strong state if you do not do your job with dignity and justice. The role and function of the police in the fight against the epidemic is separate. The importance of this role and function in the common job is paramount,” the Prime Minister said.

According to him, this is a great responsibility and there is no greater dignity than to serve your country.

"Of course, all the policemen and all the employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who sacrificed themselves in the fight against crime, as well as in the context of the country's interests, unity, protection, we must remember and respect all of them, we must take care of their families, we must take care of their children. There is no greater dignity than to serve your country and citizens, to protect their health, lives and ensure peaceful life for them, ”said PM Giorgi Gakharia.
