The exchange of Erasmus+ scholarship holders between the Police Academy in Szczytno and European universities with a similar educational profile remains active. From 30 June to 4 July, 2025, our Academy hosted a lecturer from the Ioan Cuza Police Academy in Bucharest, dr. Emil Răzvan Gâtej, who specializes in psychology and social communication.
Nine students from the Police Academy in Szczytno, studying Police Science and Criminology, took part in an Erasmus+ internship in Barcelona from 16-27 June, 2025. They were hosted at the Complejo Policial Nacional La Verneda.
At the beginning of the mobility, the participants attended a meeting focused on the presentation of the Spanish National Police. The course of service was outlined – from the recruitment stage through successive career levels, including training and promotion requirements. The organizational structure of central and regional units was also discussed. Participants learned how the police hierarchy functions in Spain and what the professional pathway of an officer looks like.
From 16 June 30 June, 2025, a student from the Police Academy in Szczytno, studiying the Police Science, participated in a foreign internship organized under the Erasmus+ program. The mobility took place at the Jefatura Superior de Policía Nacional in Granada.
During the stay, the officer had the opportunity to take part in numerous practical activities and professional meetings. A key element of the internship program was becoming acquainted with the Spanish system of support for victims of domestic violence, which includes both police actions and cooperation with aid institutions. The officer directly participated in apartment searches during which narcotic substances were discovered and secured in accordance with procedures used by the Spanish Police.
On 2-6 June, 2025, a representative of the Police Academy in Szczytno, 2nd Lieutenant Dawid Żak, conducted classes at the Police Academy in Zagreb (Croatia) as part of the Erasmus+ mobility program. The subject of the training was providing medical assistance in the case of massive limb hemorrhage using a tourniquet.
This year, summer international student internships under the Erasmus+ programme were inaugurated by Sergeants Class II, Michał Stawkowski and Dawid Sasak, third-year students of “Police Studies.” From 26 May to 6 June, they stayed at the National Police Central District Police Station in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. This trip was not only an excellent opportunity for professional development but also allowed the scholarship holders to deepen their knowledge of the functioning of Spanish police services and to exchange experiences with foreign officers.
From May 12 to 16, 2025, a delegation of students from the Police Academy in Szczytno, led by dr Grzegorz Bąk – Vice-Dean for Student Affairs, participated in an international capstone exercise organized by the University of Criminal Investigation and Police Studies in Belgrade. The event brought together police representatives from Germany, Sweden, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Hungary, and Serbia.
The exchange of experience remains a vital component of international cooperation—especially when it encompasses academic and scientific dimensions that contribute to enhancing knowledge in areas fundamental to the functioning of police institutions. Such was the nature of a recent week-long visit by a representative of the Police Academy in Szczytno to a partner institution in Turkey.
On 12-16 May 2025, Lieutenant Marcin Buchholz from the Department of Crime Studies at the Institute of Criminal Service, Police Academy in Szczytno, participated in a teaching mobility under the Erasmus+ programme, delivering academic lectures at the Police Academy of Lower Saxony in Nienburg (Germany).
As part of his visit, Lt. Marcin Buchholz conducted lectures in German, focusing on the structure and functioning of the Polish Police, the national police training system, and criminal activity in Poland.
As every year, a group of students from the Police Academy of Lower Saxony in Rothenburg visited the Police Academy in Szczytno. On 5-8 May, 2025, we hosted a group of Erasmus+ scholarships from the German academy, accompanied by Colonel Jacek Ruliński, who also served as an interpreter.
