In the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan, military bearing is harmoniously combined with national traditions. Even elements of uniforms and service equipment carry cultural meaning, with Kazakh ornaments—familiar from ancient crafts and ancestral decorations—organically woven into their design.A vivid example is the uniform of the Honor Guard Company, a unit that represents Kazakhstan at state ceremonies. Guardsmen take part in military parades, official events involving the leadership of law enforcement agencies, and welcome foreign delegations. They are often among the first symbols of the country seen by international guests.The ceremonial uniform of the Honor Guard Company has been designed with national artistic traditions in mind. Its decoration features elements of Kazakh ornamentation, including the well-known “koshkar muiz” pattern—a symbol of strength, prosperity, and continuity of generations. These ornamental motifs are carefully integrated into the details of the uniform, giving it a distinctive national character.Such elements can also be seen on the shoulder boards of everyday and office uniforms worn by guardsmen—from privates to generals. In Kazakh culture, ornamentation has always held special significance: patterns served not only decorative purposes but were also regarded as symbolic protectors.National motifs are also reflected in the equipment of the law-enforcement troops. As part of the Nauryznama celebrations, guardsmen added a national touch to Hyundai Staria service vehicles. The vehicles used to ensure public order were decorated with stylized elements of Kazakh ornamentation, which harmoniously complement their modern design.Thus, in the National Guard, national ornamentation has become an integral part of the visual identity of the law-enforcement troops—from uniforms to service equipment—uniting military traditions with the cultural heritage of the Kazakh people. #NAURYZNAMA Press Service of the National GuardMinistry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of KazakhstanSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kvv/press/news/details/1185670?lang=kk

The Center for Forecasting Criminal Threats and Public Safety Risks of the Committee on Legal Statistics and Special Accounts of the Prosecutor General's Office warns of a new fraudulent wave.According to foreign sources (https://dzen.ru/a/aa5EsIuKNzrADYS3 , https://www.theguardian.com/money/2026/mar/01/cleaning-superstore-the-missed-delivery-text-scam-whatsapp) The attackers massively send fake notifications about "missed delivery" via messengers and SMS.At first glance, such messages look harmless and resemble standard alerts from courier services. The text indicates that the courier allegedly failed to deliver the parcel and suggests going to a special page to re-arrange the delivery.However, the specified address leads to a fake website that completely imitates the official resources of logistics companies.The user is asked to provide personal information - full name, INN, residential address, and also pay a small amount for re-delivery of the shipment.After entering the relevant payment information, criminals gain access to confidential bank details, which can lead not only to financial losses, but also to the further use of your personal data in criminal schemes.In order not to become a victim of fraudsters, it is necessary to follow simple but important precautions.:-do not follow the links from messages in messengers and SMS if you are not expecting delivery;-carefully check the website address;-fraudulent resources often differ by one or two letters, signs;-do not enter confidential and banking information on suspicious resources;-check the delivery status only through the official websites and applications of courier services, logistics companies;-Ignore and block suspicious messages when you receive them.Scammers actively exploit the gullibility of citizens and the habit of responding quickly to delivery messages. That is why such schemes are spreading rapidly and can affect everyone.Caution in the digital environment is the best protection against financial losses and leakage of personal data. The Committee's Center for Forecasting Criminal Threats and Risks to Public SafetySource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanai-bmalin-audany-akimat/press/news/details/1185650?lang=kk
