Credo

The dignity of the human being is inviolable. Within the framework of the legal order of the state and the law of the police, we commit ourselves with our lives to the safety of people and serve them.

Jesus Christ, with his life, work and values, is our model. We believe in him. We also want to live this Christian faith in our work.

Is personal faith really, as some people claim, a private matter that is not discussed at work? It is precisely the daily life of the police that challenges our faith. It is good that the Christian message is a topic of discussion, because Christian values lived out generate peace.

Jesus said:

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for God will call them his children.
(Matth. 5,9)

“I am the light for the world. Whoever follows me will no longer wander in darkness, but will follow the light that leads to life”.
(Jn. 8:12)

We believe that Jesus Christ leads us to eternal life.

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
(John 3:16)
