MINSK, 7 March (BelTA) – Female officers of the Department of Security under the Belarusian Ministry of Internal Affairs spoke to journalists about their service, as well as how they balance career and family life, BelTA has learned.
“I work as a bodyguard, handling the protection of individuals and cargo escort. There are few female bodyguards here, I am the only one in the entire country. To get the job done right takes more than just physical strength: you need mental resilience, quick reactions, and the ability to assess how dangerous a situation really is. Being a woman doesn’t mean I get any special treatment or face bias. My partners and I work as one; we understand each other without words,” Inna Triputko, an inspector with the special purpose unit for the protection of individuals of the Department of Security under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, said.
She originally trained as a medical worker. But life took a different turn, and Inna Triputko joined the police. She initially worked at the Interior Ministry hospital, and then continued her service in the Department of Security, where she underwent strict selection and was admitted to the special purpose unit. At the same time, she has managed to successfully balance her career and family life. “I have two daughters: the eldest is almost 6, the youngest is 3 years old,” the bodyguard noted.
Chief of Staff of the Voronovo District Department of Security Anna Dulko spoke about her dream of becoming a police officer. “In my current role, I coordinate all services within the security department: handling planning, analysis, goal setting, decision implementation, and oversight. I don’t find the work difficult. My male colleagues treat me with respect. My husband and I have three children, and we have a harmonious family life. Our motto is: together always, everywhere and anywhere,” Anna Dulko emphasized.
The female officers of the Department of Security not only excel at their jobs but also shine in other fields. “In 2024, I became Miss Department of Security. The competition took place in Mogilev, with 16 female officers participating. We had marksmanship training, a fashion show in uniform, a creative performance, an intellectual contest, and an evening gown fashion show,” Anastasia Pugachevskaya, an inspector-engineer at the Partizansky District of the city of Minsk Department of Security, said.
