Hungary Should Be The Safest Country In Europe
The Government’s goal is to make Hungary the safest country in Europe, where all honest citizens and visitors can feel secure – said Minister of Interior Sándor Pintér at the graduation ceremony of the Miskolc Law Enforcement School.

The event was organised to celebrate the graduation and oath of the students, as well as the 20th anniversary of the school. Minister Pintér emphasised that there is need for young policemen in Hungary, since those who break the law and commit crimes against other people or other people’s property should feel threatened – he added.

According to the Minister we need order, for that is the only way our country can develop and join the leading countries of Europe.

That is why laws have become stricter and the number of police was raised by 3500. Minister Pintér pointed out that the police have been operating more effectively. He said that the new policemen are expected to help realise the Government’s goals and to improve public security with their youthful energy and ambition.

Minister Pintér also mentioned that following the change of regime, Hungary wanted a different kind of order and another kind of police. These needs brought with them new expectations towards the police both at professional and social levels. There was a need for more educated and professionally better trained police officers who always act in harmony with the law.

He explained that the system of education needed to be legally, technically and professionally up-to-date. According to the Minister, this has always been ensured by the Miskolc Law Enforcement School.

The Minister emphasised that in the past 20 years almost 9 thousand police officers graduated from the school, which has worked consciously and in a planned manner since its founding in 1993 and has developed constantly ever since, centring on talent and quality.
