The outcome of the exercises conducted as part of the project is the development of a joint procedure for cross-border operational activities. The training will enable officers to be better prepared for activities such as cross-border pursuits and cross-border surveillance.
The knowledge acquired during specialist language training held in mid-September this year in Zgorzelec as part of the project will help communication between the services, reducing difficulties caused by language barriers during joint cross-border operations.
The officers add:
The actions undertaken as part of the project will result in increased safety for residents of the border area and tourists.
