Police officers and personnel expressed their views with clarity and confidence, highlighting the growing threat of drug abuse and its impact on youth, families, and society.

The participants also reflected on the theme “The Sacrifice and Service Behind the Uniform,” stating that policing is not merely a profession but a lifelong commitment to protecting society. They recalled how police personnel often sacrifice family time, festivals, and personal celebrations while remaining on duty to safeguard the lives and property of citizens.
Special tribute was paid to police martyrs who laid down their lives in the line of duty while maintaining peace and law and order. Participants stressed that the courage, dedication, and selfless service of the martyrs should continue to inspire every police officer to serve the public with integrity and commitment.
