Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei on Wednesday, October 6, congratulated the Islamic Republic of Iran Police (IRIP) on the occasion of Police Week...
Speaking at a graduation ceremony held in the Police Academy, the Leader said that maintaining law and order is the main task of the police, adding that criminals must be dealt with in a serious manner. He also advised police officers to treat the people in a respectful manner in their everyday interactions with them.
Ayatollah Khamenei expressed his appreciation for the improved performance of the IRIP and said that scientific planning, strong administration and relentless efforts are needed to obtain better results in the campaign to maintain law and order. The Leader also stressed that the IRIP should make greater efforts to meet the expectations of the people. "The people expect the police to carry out their task strongly, vigilantly, honestly and rapidly," he added. Ayatollah Khamenei further said that the Islamic Republic of Iran is among the countries enjoying the highest rate of security in the world.
Elsewhere in his speech, the Leader noted that the presence of interventionist forces in various countries has caused social and cultural disruption. He expressed regret over the civilian casualties in Iraq and Palestine and the wanton massacre of children, women, and other innocent people in the name of the campaign against terrorism.
"Such massacres will not eradicate terrorism, but will only reinvigorate popular resistance and prepare the ground for a violent backlash in the region and the entire world," Ayatollah Khamenei said in reference to the ongoing Israeli assault on Gaza and the occupying forces' continuing acts of aggression in Iraq.
Prior to the Leader's remarks, IRIP commander Brigadier General Mohammad-Baqer Qalibaf delivered a report on the activities and achievements of the police.
