Police Day 1987

Issued in 1987, this stamp commemorates Police Day 1987 and honors the Camel Corps of the Royal Oman Police. The Camel Corps played an important role in patrolling remote desert regions, border areas, and sparsely populated territories where traditional transport remained well suited to the terrain. Camels had long been an integral part of Omani life, serving as reliable means of travel and communication across the country's vast desert landscapes.

By issuing this commemorative stamp, the Sultanate of Oman recognized the contribution of the Camel Corps to national security, law enforcement, and public service. The issue celebrated the unique blend of tradition and modern state institutions, highlighting how historic methods of desert mobility continued to support policing operations while preserving an important aspect of Oman's cultural heritage and longstanding relationship with the camel.
