A hatchet in a 16-year-old's backpack. Several dozen police interventions in Świętokrzyskie schools

Police officers have been checking reports regarding safety in educational institutions since the morning. Interventions in the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship took place mainly in the following counties: Kielce, Konecki, Jędrzejowski, Pińczów and Skarżysko.

According to Junior Inspector Kamil Tokarski, spokesman for the Świętokrzyskie Police Commander, all reports are thoroughly verified.

In none of the cases was there an escalation of aggression. None of the reports concerned the use of violence, and no one was injured, Tokarski assured. He also added: Our findings so far indicate that the students did not plan any dangerous activities using them, they simply had them with them.

Not only schools – activities also online

The police respond not only to reports about items brought to schools. Officers from the Central Bureau for Combating Cybercrime are dealing with the case of a teenager who sent threats and disturbing photos to a discussion group.

The officers appeal to residents to be cautious and remain calm, reminding them that spreading false information and making threats is a crime.

Tragic events in the background

Increased inspections and police presence around schools are the result of the tragic events of recent days. On Thursday, at the primary school in Leszczydole-Nowiny, a 15-year-old attacked three people with a sharp instrument, one of whom - a janitor - died despite resuscitation. In Ostrołęka, a 19-year-old stabbed nine people, and in Sierpc, a 17-year-old planning an attack was detained. These dramatic events shocked public opinion and prompted Prime Minister Donald Tusk to announce an increase in the number of police patrols around schools.

The police appeal for vigilance

Junior inspector Tokarski emphasizes that officers will also be present at schools in the coming days.
