cutions, VIP protection, etc. Thanks to comprehensive training, the
SPKP officers can support other Police units and assets with their
unique and special skills such as diving or rope-access training. Each
SPKP is formed from highly skilled and well-trained police officers
of above average physical and psychological condition capable of
working in a high-stress environment. The Commander of SKPK of
Warsaw says that in his unit there is place only for super-motivated
police officers as this type of duty requires sacrifices and maximum
effort during training and every day duty. According to the Command-
er's words, the motivation to be part of a perfectly functioning mech-
anism that will work properly at a critical moment is absolutely key.
Perfect candidate should be around 30 years old, have some addi-
tional skills (diving, rappelling) to start his way to join the ranks of
SPKP. But first, the six-month long basic course must be completed.
