These are examples of dedication to their country and loyalty to the people of Belarus. Today, Minsk police officers were presented with state awards for their significant contribution to strengthening the rule of law. Many of them have dozens of years of impeccable service. The significance of the title of colonel is proved by the fact that it is awarded by the decree of the Head of State. By tradition, the award ceremony was held in the "Victory" memorial hall of the Great Patriotic War Museum.
Natalia Kochanova, Chairperson of the Council of the Republic of the National Assembly of Belarus: "Today we have honored the officers of law enforcement agencies for their loyalty to the Motherland, loyalty to the people, for standing against crime and doing everything to ensure peace and calmness in our country."
Gennady Melnik, head of Zhlobin District Police Department: "This is an award for all the personnel, who have shown themselves. In a difficult time for us and the country, we held our ground and didn't give up the city".
In total, about fifty people were awarded today with state awards.
