On October 19, 2026, the Commander-in-Chief of the Police, Gen. insp. Marek Boroń, issued an official letter to the officers. The document addressed the situation that developed following the incidents at the Constitutional Tribunal and the intensification of internet hate campaigns. In the communication, the Commander confirmed unconditional support for female and male police officers, emphasizing that the service is protected against actions that cross the boundaries of permissible criticism.
The letter highlights a specific case of an officer who became the target of insults and public humiliation. The Commander notes that while criticism of the work of law enforcement agencies is an element of democracy, it must not violate the personal dignity of individual employees. Such behavior is treated as a serious violation of officers' rights.
Legal Support for Police Officers
In response to the difficult situation, Gen. insp. Marek Boroń instructed police lawyers to provide active support to the officers. The leadership of the service guarantees assistance in filing private prosecutions and pursuing civil claims. Additionally, the Commander announced that the police would petition the prosecutor's office to take action in cases where the rights of female and male police officers were violated. This is intended to ensure that every case of public humiliation of officers is investigated by law enforcement authorities.
