The competition consisted of two parts. The first involved providing written answers to test questions. Each team member completed the test individually. In the second part, the participants worked in groups to create an artwork on an anti-terrorism theme and solve a crossword puzzle. The teams from Bolesławiec ultimately took second and third place. In addition to valuable prizes, both winning teams received impressive cups donated by the Provincial Police Commander in Wrocław and the Provincial Voluntary Labour Corps Commander. The young people also had the opportunity to visit the Natural History Museum with a guide and hear many interesting stories connected with the site.

Additionally, young people representing the Voluntary Labour Corps in Bolesławiec receive valuable material prizes every year, funded by the Bolesławiec County Office.

Police officers from the County Police Headquarters in Bolesławiec made a major contribution to the students’ success: asp. szt. Rafał Janiec, asp. szt. Beata Łuczkowska and asp. szt. Anna Kublik-Rościszewska. Sharing their knowledge and experience, they prepared the students for the competition professionally and with great commitment. It is worth noting that young people from Bolesławiec trained by the above-mentioned police officers have been taking top places in the police knowledge competition for several years.
