The first batch of Hungary’s ‘border hunters’ have been sworn in before they get to work patrolling a razor-wire fence built to keep migrants out.
Members of the border protection officers’ new unit attended their swearing-in ceremony in Budapest today, and will undergo six months of training before they go on duty.
The new recruits will support Hungarian police officers and soldiers in border protection, and will be equipped with pistols with live ammunition, pepper spray, batons, handcuffs and protective kit.
Hungarian police were looking to recruit 3,000 of the ‘border hunters’ who will reinforce up to 10,000 police and soldiers.
