The EMPD recently celebrated two decades of community service.
In honour of the auspicious occasion EMPD partnered with The Reach for a Dream Foundation to host a display that saw 20 children being sworn in as honourary EMPD officers for a day, at Emperors Palace.
During the event, the children had the opportunity to meet with officers and to interact with the furry members of the K9 and Equestrian Units.
