In the act, the Police Merit Cross with White Distinction was awarded to 28 Local Police officials and four people outside the Corps, according to municipal sources.

After the delivery of the insignia, the act of Homage to the Fallen was carried out.
Increase in staff
The mayor wanted to emphasize that the increase in personnel has been carried out by the government team for the last two years.
