As every year on the occasion of Independence Day, the large family of the national police expresses its solidarity with the children of police officers who died in service or on an ordered mission. Yesterday, it was the children who do not benefit from accommodation at the national police orphanage in Ambatolampy who received gifts to mark this event. The ceremony was held in the courtyard of the Tsaralalàna central police station.
On this occasion, the Minister of Public Security, accompanied by his team as well as senior officials of this Defense and Security Forces institution, distributed packed baskets, basic necessities and poultry to the beneficiaries. 66 children from 50 families participated in this celebration, accompanied by their parents, and were clearly delighted not to be forgotten by their fathers’ former colleagues.
The speeches delivered during the ceremony highlighted this recognition. Thanking donors and partners of the national police for their contribution to this event, the Controller General of Police and Minister of Public Security, Herilala Rakotoarimanana, announced a project aimed at offering professional training to the wives of deceased police officers, to help them meet their needs. He also expressed the hope that collaboration with all people of good will would continue.
