Based on the government’s decision, since 1992, the Police Day has been held in Hungary on April 24, St. George’s Day. Saint George the Slayer was for centuries the patron saint of knights, gunsmiths, horsemen and wandering lads. Today it belongs to the scouts and the police.
The government also commemorated the important day, publishing a post on Facebook thanking the police for their exemplary service.
The police also made a video for the occasion.
We understand you all year round. We serve and protect, but today is more special for us: today every blue heart beats a little bigger. Enjoy our video made for this occasion
