CAT/OP/POL/CSPRO/1 suspicion of ill-treatment and violation of the rights of arrested individuals in particular by abuse of power, as well as documents in a digital form via electronic network coming through Internet from police units of basic level to the highest ranked. Data is collected in the Internal Control Bureau in General Headquarters – unit entitled to take actions aimed at demystify every detail, inform disciplinary supervisors as well as give over the information and gathered documents to the Ministry, Ombudsman, and relevant prosecutor. 25. It is necessary to point out that disciplinary proceedings can be initiated regardless of criminal liability for the same behaviour or actions undertaken by Police officers. Disciplinary sanctions include: reprimand; prohibition to leave the place of residence; warning of inadequate fitness for the service in the post presently occupied; transfer to a lower post; downgrading; dismissal from the service. 26. In 2019, Internal Control Bureau also set up additional procedures making use of mechanism for monitoring and supervising ways of reactions by the lowest level management of Police units, especially if they use internal procedures and disciplinary measures to examine that kind of cases directly after they gain knowledge about them, or if they do not; this is the obligation to explain that, and simultaneously, to undertake necessary steps to clear up incident, indicate consequences, establish new method on how to prevent similar situations and report the measures to the General Police Headquarters. 27. In conclusion and with reference to above mentioned information on the case in Krakow, it is needed to clarify that in order to explain that case, all data gathered by the internal control officers were forwarded to public prosecutor to check criminal liability, regardless of disciplinary procedures taken by the Commander of Unit. 28. Police activities (organisational and training) after cases of torture and other training of interest to the UNCAT: Activities in the field of prevention of inappropriate behaviour, unworthy of police services, have a long history in the Police and do not constitute only a spontaneous and unique reaction to revealed cases of such behaviour. Respect for the dignity of every human being and the prohibition of torture and inhuman or degrading treatment are a constant and regular feature of police education. 29. Since 2004, there are specialized units for human rights protection in the Police, which undertake training activities, e.g. concerning the prevention of abuse by police officers, multiculture and diversity. They are closely cooperating with state institutions, non-governmental institutions and international organisations. 30. Referring to the question concerning implemented training activities within the scope of the Convention against Torture (UNCAT), it should be stressed that trainings for all Police officers, including managerial staff, are conducted in the Police. A special training programme named “Prevention of Torture” was implemented at the end of 2017. The programme includes torture and violent behaviour in psychological and legal aspects and a module on torture prevention. In addition, it includes concepts of whistleblowing and the blue wall of silence. The Istanbul Protocol is also discussed during the training. By the end of June 2019, almost 26 thousand police officers had been trained in this course. 31. Training on human rights protection is carried out systematically in all Police units, with such activities being implemented as a priority in those units where human rights violations have occurred or are suspected. Post-incidental educational projects were implemented, among others, in the Police units mentioned in the speeches of the Committee members during the session of 23 July 2019, where irregularities occurred or could have occurred, e.g. in Wrocław, in connection with the case of Mr. Igor Stachowiak, in Lidzbark Warmiński in connection with the case of K.J. and K.W. v. Poland, or in the mentioned police unit in Ryki. For example, in Ryki, in April 2019, a training course on Prevention of Torture was held for the management of this unit. They were conducted by the inspectors of the National Torture Prevention Mechanism at the Ombudsman’s Office. In Wrocław, on the other hand, numerous trainings were held on counteracting torture and taking action by Police officers in situations of increased risk. Additionally, this year a conference is planned to be held, among others, with the Local Representative of the Ombudsman, on building cooperation with citizens and institutions. 10
