Under a special annual programme, the police have been implementing a system of sport competitions that can be attended by all police employees. Competitions help officers maintain and improve their physical fitness and mental preparedness.
The Brajnik memorial race is one of the most recognisable sporting events in the Slovenian police.
An endurance race promoting strength of body and mind
The Brajnik memorial race is known as the most difficult test of physical and psychological capabilities of individual competitors and of teamwork during which teams - of not only police officers, but also of members of the military, civil protection, mountain rescue service and firefighters - measure their strength, skills and endurance against each other.
Top Athletes Section
The Slovenian police employ some of Slovenia’s - indeed the world’s - best athletes, providing them with full-fledged support while in return athletes use their influence to improve general attitudes towards sport in the police. Top-level athletes and coaches employed by the Slovenian police also contribute to maintaining public trust in the police through their involvement in promotional, preventive, sport, educational and other activities that are often carried out in cooperation with other institutions. Top-level athletes in police uniform are our ambassadors in many preventive projects.
