In the presence of their families and loved ones, the young gendarmes received their first epaulettes; an emblem of discipline, resilience, and commitment to duty. For these newly appointed gendarmes, the decoration represents more than a promotion.

It is a rite of passage that opens the door to a career dedicated to service, honor, and the safeguarding of national security. Their achievement stands as a testament to the demanding training of the Gendarmerie and the values of courage and professionalism.
