Africa-Press – Angola. President João Lourenço awarded on Wednesday medals to high-ranking members of the Angolan National Police, as part of the celebrations of the corporation’s 50th anniversary, which will be marked on February 28.
The initiative, which in total should encompass more than a thousand officers in different ceremonies, aims to recognize the achievements and merits of members of the corporation who, over the years, have distinguished themselves in guaranteeing constitutional order, maintaining public security and tranquility, as well as in the prevention and fight against crime, with a significant contribution to the preservation of social peace in the country.
The distinctions are part of the Angolan National Police’s decoration subsystem and include active duty, reserve, and posthumous members, including commissioned officers, senior officers, junior officers, sub-chiefs, and canine units serving the corporation.
