The event, held in the main hall of the district headquarters, was officiated by YDH Pricha a/l Azin, the Lubok Antu District Police chief.
Certificates of appreciation were presented to several agencies in recognition of their contributions and cooperation during search and rescue operations in the district.

His presence highlighted the strong support of the Civil Defence Force (APM) for the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM), reinforcing the collaborative relationship between agencies in safeguarding national security and public order.
The commemoration underscored the ongoing commitment of Malaysia’s security forces to strengthen cooperation and coordination, particularly in areas such as Lubok Antu where joint efforts are vital in responding to emergencies and maintaining peace.
The recognition of agencies involved in rescue operations reflected the importance of inter-agency synergy in ensuring effective disaster response and community protection.
Police Day is celebrated annually on 25 March to honour the dedication, sacrifices and service of PDRM members.
