Serbian Police Day

Serbian Police Day is marked in memory of 1862, when Serbian gendarmes played a crucial role in the conflicts near the Belgrade Čukur-fountain on Trinity Sunday and during the Turkish bombing of Belgrade the next day. The roots of officer and patrol activity in Serbia go back to the first half of the 19th century. The first law enforcement officers, defenders of law and justice, so-called patrolmen or quartermasters, were first established in the town police in the 1830s
