Belarusian Militia Day is observed in Belarus on March 4 each year, celebrating the professional holiday of law enforcement officers. Established on March 26, 1998, by President Alexander Lukashenko, this day honors the civilian police, known as the militia, which operates under the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Belarus. Events typically include solemn ceremonies to commemorate militiamen who have died in the line of duty, attended by active officers, veterans, and government officials. Participants lay flowers and wreaths at memorials, observe a moment of silence, and perform a triple salute. The day concludes with a formal reception at the Palace of Republic in Minsk, where the President congratulates law enforcement officials and veterans, followed by a concert.
