The Border Police is an agency that prides itself on professionalism and adherence to a distinct and clear set of values.

Even at the tender age of five during a visit to Israel, she expressed a desire to reside here, making it apparent to us all that she would one day make this country her home. From her early years, Rose was deeply aware that her bond with her Jewish heritage and the nation of Israel was as significant as her attachment to her own family. She was a staunch opponent of antisemitism. Rose possessed numerous talents and had a love for dance. Her voice had the power to evoke tears, and she was an incredibly resilient individual, constantly challenging herself to reach greater mental heights," her father said.
