In brief

Police Day is celebrated on 24 July and also covers officers serving in ports, on quays and in Polish territorial waters. Police officers from water, port and prevention units respond to incidents within maritime infrastructure, support inspections of vessels and counter organised crime. Gazeta Morska extends its thanks to police officers and wishes them satisfaction in their service and safe returns home.

In the maritime sector, the role of the police is essential. Officers from waterborne, port, and patrol units respond to incidents involving maritime infrastructure, assist in vessel inspections, combat organized crime, and ensure safety in and around seaports – which serve not only as strategic nodes in the national economy, but also as daily workplaces for thousands.

On this occasion, Daily Mare extends its sincere thanks to all police officers. Your dedication, professionalism, and readiness to act in all conditions deserve the highest respect.

We wish all officers continued satisfaction in their service, safe returns home, and ongoing support from the public and partner institutions. May this day also serve as a moment to reflect on the importance of the mission you carry out each day – including across Poland’s maritime regions.
