Working with Police: Training Programs

police training program

Together with the Association Lawyers for Animals (Stowarzyszenie Prawnicy na Rzecz Zwierząt), we are implementing a nationwide series of training sessions for the Police. The meetings are held at all provincial police headquarters so that every police officer can gain practical knowledge on how to effectively respond to cases of animal abuse.

So far, we have trained more than 2,000 police officers. We have already conducted sessions at the Warsaw Metropolitan Police Headquarters, as well as at provincial headquarters in Białystok, Łódź and Gorzów, and at the Police Training Centre in Legionowo.

At the same time, a publication titled “Animal Protection Act – A Guide for the Police,” prepared together with lawyers, has been distributed to all police schools in Poland. It is a practical guide that supports officers in their daily work.

Through these activities, we are strengthening the systemic protection of animals — promoting greater empathy, knowledge, and effectiveness in the enforcement of the law.
