MESSAGE FROM THE GENERAL DIRECTOR OF THE STATE POLICE, ILIR PRODA
The latest operation finalized by the Kukës Police, as well as the successive operations conducted by the Tirana Police, in cooperation with the Kosovo Police, to crack down on groups that traffic firearms from Kosovo to Albania, are clear evidence that the State Police is present, vigilant and determined to guarantee security in every corner of the country. Likewise, cooperation with the Kosovo Police has become a model of success in the region.
I express my gratitude and maximum appreciation to the structures of the Kukes Police, to the patrol officers, the Eagles and the investigation specialists, who, with professionalism and high commitment, cracked down on a case of firearms trafficking in large quantities, seizing 8 pistol-type firearms and arresting two citizens from Kosovo.
Weapons are the main source of criminal events, crimes against life and property, as well as a constant threat to public order. Every weapon banned, at the border or in our territory, is a life saved. The numerous cases of illegal possession of weapons, recently cracked down on throughout the country, speak of an unwavering commitment of the State Police. Every network dismantled is a crime prevented.
The State Police is maximally involved in preventive, investigative and operational actions, both domestically and abroad, in cooperation with our partners, to combat crime in general and organized crime in particular.
In this daily battle, I am convinced that complete success comes only with close cooperation with citizens, civil society, young people and the media. As we work for your safety, I invite you to stand by the Police, to cooperate and to be part of this new spirit of trust and mutual respect.
Together, we will further strengthen security, further improving the image of Albania, which is and remains a safe and welcoming country, for all visitors and tourists from around the world who choose to come and discover our beauties.
Thank you to the Police structures for their professionalism and maximum commitment, even on these very hot days.
Thank you to the citizens who trust the State Police more and more every day.
My message is clear: Security is not negotiable! Police and citizens, an unstoppable force.
