January 10 is the Day of the National Guard of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
This day of 2014 is the date of its foundation.
January 10, 1992 — the day of creation of the Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kazakhstan. These units were created to ensure the security of society and the state, as well as the protection of the rights and freedoms of citizens of the republic.
On April 21, 2014, the Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were transformed into the National Guard, which is part of the unified system of internal affairs bodies of Kazakhstan (however, it is included in the armed forces when mobilization is announced) and performs the same functions that the Internal Troops performed.
The National Guard of Kazakhstan is engaged in the protection of particularly important state facilities and special cargo, escorting detainees and convicts, protecting public order, participating in other special operations to neutralize organized criminal groups and armed criminals and performing other tasks.
On this day, the leadership of the colony noted military personnel who work closely with the institution, who protect prisoners, interact with the colony's personnel, performing one task.
For exemplary performance of official duties, joint fruitful work, the guards were awarded diplomas of the head of the institution.
Zhandos Salikov, the deputy head of the colony congratulated the personnel of the military unit on their professional holiday, wishing them good health, happiness and personal professional success."
