Holidays of Kyrgyzstan - Financial Police Day

Every year, since 1993, Kyrgyzstan celebrates Financial Police Officer Day. This holiday was established by the Government of the Republic in order to maintain attention to the significance of the activities of employees. Since 1993, the body has been part of the tax police under the Ministry of Finance. But in 2008, the unit was reorganized and became an independent service - a law enforcement agency. The effectiveness of the work of the financial police is confirmed by many crimes being investigated, identified and solved. Economic security of the Republic, protection of business, entrepreneurship, payment of taxes, identification of crimes of various categories throughout the country or individuals - all these are the tasks of financial police officers. The financial police also has a separate hotline, which every citizen of the country can contact. Employees undertake inspections of various entities, are on duty in places of suspicious financial activity, and investigate economic incidents in various areas, from small bribes to officials to large frauds planned at the level of large enterprises and financial structures. Based on the results of the past decades, since 1993, thanks to employees of the financial police, more than a thousand criminal cases have been initiated based on identified violations. Financial Police Officer Day in Kyrgyzstan has been celebrated on February 19, since 1993. During this day, structural units reward those employees whose work and determination helped to identify and suppress violations in the economic sphere. Also, in honor of the holiday, concert events and meetings with outstanding representatives of the service are held in the cities of Kyrgyzstan, where the importance of the activities of financial police officers in the framework of the development of the state is discussed.
