This year special attention has been paid to the social events. As customary, there will be a Police Song Festival, in which the officers will compete for the coveted best singer award. There will also be a dance competition and a culture night. During this night the various ethnic groups on the island will have an opportunity to display their countries culture through music, dance, food, and drinks.
Police Day will be also celebrated on October 10th, 2012. There will be a church service in the morning hours followed by a parade by the various uniformed troupes from Sint Maarten and abroad.
