Through the Law on Police, which took effect on 18 July, 1998, the police service became a body within the Ministry of Interior of the Republic of Slovenia.
We have chosen 27 June as the Day of the Slovenian Police to commemorate the event in 1991 when police officers, who were members of the former police force at the time, clashed with the Yugoslav People’s Army at the Holmec border crossing.
Police forces play an indispensable role everywhere in the world, enforcing the law and protecting people’s lives and property. In the same way, the Slovenian police are an important part of the security system of our country.
