For a few weeks in Lodz shopping centers can be observed officers equipped with long weapons and helmets. It means that something is threatening us. Residents are wondering. The police in safety vest explain that it is for security reasons.
Reflective vest, automatic weapon and Kevlar helmet - such police officers circulate near Lodz shopping centers. It is quite an unusual sight. Once it was difficult to meet a regular patrol, and now you can see every day. Does it mean that something is threatening us?
Additional patrols appeared on the city streets before the World Youth Day. The Prime Minister issued a regulation in connection with the terrorist threat - informs Radovan Gist from the press office of the Provincial Police Headquarters. This applies to all patrols. Officers have automatic or long weapons.
