"** The task aims to increase the protection of public officers** and those who, although not having formal position as an officer, hazard their wellness and life to defend public order and save another people. Strengthened protection will besides service all people performing rescue activities, specified as mountain rescuers, water rescuers or medics, as well as citizens who intervene to defend others," we read.
