Polish public opinion has been stirred by reports of a sexual crime within police structures in Wołów. The prosecutor's office has charged a local officer with committing "other sexual acts" against a female colleague from his patrol. Although the suspect does not plead guilty, police supervision and a restraining order against the victim have been applied. Investigators are currently awaiting a crucial expert opinion to clarify the course of events. The Polish Police has been implementing anti-discrimination and anti-mobbing procedures for years, but standards for reporting sexual abuses within the force intensified after 2015 with growing awareness of workers' rights.Simultaneously, media report a sharp increase in aggression among minors. In Warsaw, a 16-year-old was detained for threatening peers with death and being fascinated by mass shooter figures. Meanwhile, in Poznań, at the Posnania shopping center, a fight broke out among teenage girls, resulting in one being hospitalized with an eye injury. Experts point to growing social pressure and mental health crises affecting youth, which often manifest as mindless violence or robbery, as in the case of a 15-year-old from Grudziądz who assaulted a 40-year-old woman. „The prosecutor's office has filed charges regarding another sexual act. The suspect does not plead guilty.” — prosecutor's office spokespersonAlarming signals also come from domestic interventions. In Tychy, an aggressive man attacked officers with gas and fled to the roof of a building after previously threatening his father. Similar cases of abusing elderly parents were recorded in the Lubin municipality, where a 60-year-old was arrested for physically and psychologically tormenting his caregivers. Services emphasize that in many cases, radical measures such as forced entries using stun grenades are necessary to subdue perpetrators posing an immediate threat to their surroundings.
