Superintendent Yoram Sofer, commander of the outgoing Coastal District, said in his farewell speech:
Daniel Levy, Commander of the incoming Coastal District, I am handing over to you a complex, special and challenging district. A district with a volume of crime and unusual events large for its size.
And to you, the commanders who are sitting here, the policemen and policewomen, the volunteers who are in the various stations and units who are the police and the police are them. A special thanks to you, for your investment, creativity, care and courage. You allowed me to command and manage the district in the last two and a half years and achieve significant achievements.
The Israel Police is the executive branch for law enforcement, it has the authority to uphold the law anywhere and at any time and hence I, as a police officer and commander in the organization, am subject to the law, the rulings and the law. This is the legal framework and the source of my authority for my actions since always. This is my way.
Only by fully observing the law, the law and the ruling will we continue to lead the police.
Superintendent Danny Levy, the incoming commander of the Coastal District, said in his induction speech:
Today I take command of a coastal district and with it a great sense of responsibility. I am correct and ready for the command, operational and professional challenge. The meaning of this role is completely clear to me, which carries a lot of weighty responsibility.
I started serving in the Israel Police in 1985, after military service as a fighter and soldier in the artillery. From there I joined the Israel Police out of a sense of mission. Thank you Commissioner and the Minister for your backing, trust, support and choosing me for this important position. I am aware of the weight of the responsibility that lies before me and am ready to bear it out of faith and mission. I will harness all my strength, use the extensive experience I have gained over the years and prove that I am worthy of the trust you have placed in me.
A coastal district is complex and very challenging in terms of crime and public order, the main challenge of which is the security of the residents and the islanders of the place, and I am convinced that we will meet the challenge before us. Thank you to everyone who labored and organized this honorable ceremony under the leadership of the dear SMMZ Deputy Superintendent Dodo Buani. We will not forget! And we will remember the bereaved families and wish a speedy recovery to the wounded. I will end with the prayer "Place good peace and blessing, live grace and kindness, charity and mercy on us and on all Israel with you." And they said Amen.
Police Commissioner Rabbi Yaakov Shabtai said in his speech:
The county constables serve a heterogeneous population. They are faced with a range of challenges in the fight against serious crime, violence, AML and SAD concepts. They specialize in providing services to each community according to its needs, and act with determination, aggressiveness and professionalism. Being a police officer is a privilege, especially at this time, given the security and social reality in which Israeli society finds itself.
Early in the morning, IDF fighters in Hebron, in cooperation with the Shin Bet and the IDF, arrested the 2 damned terrorists who committed the heinous murder of the late Bat Sheva Nigri in front of her 12-year-old daughter and wounded another civilian. The Israeli police and the security forces will come to account with every heinous rope that he sends and takes the lives of innocent people, time and time again the fighters fulfill the commandment written to us in the Psalms - "I will pursue my enemies and overtake them and I will not return until they are finished".
Itamar Ben Gvir, Minister of National Security and MK, said at the ceremony:
Dear Yoram, you are finishing the position of Coast District Commander after years of work and important achievements. The years of your activity in the Coastal District were recorded as years of strengthening and construction for deepening the police and enforcement services.
You are handing over to Danny today, a stronger district that must continue to be strengthened to face the many and difficult challenges. Dear Superintendent Danny Levy, I was impressed by a special person, sensitive to people and the environment. Alongside this, a professional officer with extensive and deep professional knowledge. This is exactly what I look for in commanders. Not stars that fell from the sky, but policemen who tore up many pairs of shoes, who grew out of the field and know very well what it is to be a policeman.
The plans of the Ministry of National Security are designed to deepen the policing capacity in the face of the most burning gaps. The police budget for the next two years carries great news for the police in general and the Coastal District in particular. The cities and towns in the province will gain more policing power in the places and issues they need so much.
