New Police Officers' Oath In Krakow

Krzysztof Jan Kleczar, governor of Malopolska, participates in the swearing-in ceremony of a new group of recruits joining the ranks of the Malopolska Police at the parade ground of the Prevention Police Unit in Krakow, Poland, on March 20, 2025. A total of 30 women and 76 men take part in the oath-taking ceremony for the first group of officers admitted to the Malopolska Police in 2025. While the number of applications to the police increases, serious staffing issues persist, with the vacancy rate standing at 11.86% of the total workforce as of December 1, 2024.
