The Ministry of the Interior would like to share an inspiring story that demonstrates how a strong partnership with the European Commission can lead to lasting and positive changes.
The collaboration between the State Provision Agency and our colleges—the State Border Guard College, the State Police College, and the Fire Safety and Civil Protection College—is a path toward a safer and better-prepared nation.
We are currently implementing the historically significant project No. 4.2.1.6/3/24/I/001, “Modernization of the learning environment in the professional education institutions of the Ministry of the Interior to acquire up-to-date skills in the sector.” This project is not just an administrative step; it is our response to future challenges and threats. We are investing in a modern learning environment so that our future security officers—border guards, police officers, and firefighters—are trained according to the highest international standards, capable of effectively protecting the people of Latvia and ensuring peace in our country.
This is a story of a vision largely shaped by the European Commission. The European Union’s generous financial contribution from the Internal Security Fund is like a beacon that lights the way to a future where security is not just a goal, but an unchanging reality. European Union investments are proof that member states are not alone. They are a sign of the European Commission's belief in our ability, our commitment, and our potential. This support is not just money; it is also solidarity and partnership.
We express our deep and heartfelt gratitude to the European Commission for its invaluable contribution. With this kind of support, we are not only strengthening our internal security but also inspiring other European countries. We are showing that joint work, innovation, and mutual trust are the foundation of a strong and united Europe. We are happy to be a part of this story.
