Special forces in our country are honored annually on the third of October. OMON Day in Russia is one of the main holidays for the officers of the Armed Forces and law enforcement officials involved in both civilian and military service.
A brief excursion into history
Riot police stands for simply: mobile special forces. The commandos are not directly subordinate to the police, but they are actively assisting them in solving crimes, catching and neutralizing attackers.
The first special forces detachment in the Soviet Union was formed back in 1988. Also, mobile police units appeared in Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Belarus.
OMON Day in Russia officially began to be celebrated after the corresponding order was signed in 2002.
You cannot today without riot police
So who are they, commandos, and what role do they play in modern society? Their main task is to ensure public order and the fight against crime. Unfortunately, in our country there are regions in which local police units are simply not able to cope with crime due to its enormous scale. Only in close cooperation with commandos can operatives effectively carry out complex operations to neutralize offenders. They boldly storm the buildings where the hostages are located, eliminate the terrorists and cover the police with their own breasts.
How are special forces honored?
How is riot police celebrated in Russia? For special forces held a solemn meeting. The best of the best are awarded on it - they are given extraordinary ranks. They also recall the merits of those who died in the line of duty. For law enforcement officers, concert programs are organized with the participation of pop stars. On the day of the riot police, family meetings are held at the festive table in Russia - and all this is no coincidence, since moral support of his family and friends is incredibly important for each commando, because every day he risks his own life.
And these are not empty words, because they not only ensure the safety of citizens in the usual way, but also save people in extreme situations, and also help citizens in natural disasters.
Riot police day 2013 was organized, as they say, "on a grand scale." The commandos were warmly and cordially congratulated by their immediate superiors, colleagues, and relatives. The leadership of the security forces made sure in advance that on October 3, a festive table was set for subordinates and an interesting entertainment program was organized.
Impeccable endurance, a high level of professionalism, excellent fighting skills in a wide variety of conditions - this is what distinguishes the riot police from everyone else. Special forces, as a rule, prefer to celebrate their professional holiday in the circle of relatives or colleagues. On this day, they accept sincere congratulations on the OMON Day from friends and relatives.
If one of your relatives serves in the special forces, then in no case do not forget to congratulate your brother, uncle, dad on their professional holiday! They will be very pleased that you remember about their holiday!
