On behalf of the SGMK Rector, Prof. Gertruda Uścińska, the Chancellor Wojciech Kondrat participated in the ceremony and read a letter from the Rector addressed to the community of the Justice Academy and the future officers.

In her message, SGMK Rector emphasized the importance of choosing the candidate’s path of service and expressed gratitude to the AWS authorities for their cooperation:

“Your decision is an expression of maturity and responsibility, while at the same time carrying a noble and demanding mission to serve others. Congratulations to all who have the courage to embark on this path — it enables building security and helps in the process of resocialization, giving a real impact on a better future for our society.”
