The National Police, together with the local communities, have done everything to ensure that you have decent working conditions. I urge you to treat your position and profession responsibly. ''Community Police Officer'' is no longer a project, it is a philosophy and a concept of the work of the National Police in each territorial community. The trust of the population in the structure of the law enforcement system of the state and the National Police in particular depends on you. Don't shy away from people! Communicate with everyone! You will hear them - you will be heard by them. It is true that it is not easy to work alone, to make important decisions, but the community will be your support if you prove to each of its residents that you are really worthy to live and work in their community. I'm sure you will succeed! ”
