Over the years, Police Day has been struggling to draw large crowds that BDF Day seems to do so with ease, but this year has proven men and women in blue to be just as capable of attracting the masses. The police celebration managed to entertain the crowd throughout the event. When The Monitor team arrived at the National Stadium at around 6am, multitudes of patrons had already made their way into the stands with a majority still walking into the stadium. At around 7:30am, about 80% of the seats were already occupied making this year’s event a more popular display. With performances from ‘Tlhoma ka Serethe’ hitmaker, Monnamogolo wa Thulaganyo and pop sensation, Han C, the event left the audience mesmerised.
For some reason, the different activities often associated with the day never seem to grow old for the fans, who just can't get enough of the variety of entertainment dished out by law enforcement personnel. Some displays make a comeback every year for the celebrations and the acts remain a hit for both the young and the old. For instance, the K9 display, fire acrobatics, callisthenics, and police clowns will remain some of the fans' favourites and the main ingredient in spicing up the gracious event. The usual activities such as athletics and the 4-by-4 relay of BPS women's and men's teams from police divisions, also spiced up the day. In the end, Police Headquarters, the host's women's and men's relay teams, scoped position one respectively.
