It includes, among others, social consultations and workshops involving police officers, leaders of minority communities, and representatives of the Krak\u00f3w Municipality.
The trainings were attended by community police officers from the Municipal Police Headquarters in Krak\u00f3w and Tarn\u00f3w, and were organized by the Human Rights Protection Unit of the Voivodeship Police Headquarters in Krak\u00f3w. <\/p>\n\n
