Before taking the oath, each person had to undergo psychological and physical fitness tests and pass a knowledge exam. The Border Guard is still recruiting – they are looking for people with at least secondary education, Polish citizenship and a willingness to submit to special service discipline.

The ceremony was attended by the officers' closest family members and friends. The new guards vowed to "serve faithfully the Polish Nation" and "stand steadfastly on guard for independence and sovereignty and protect the inviolability of the state border of the Republic of Poland, even at the risk of their lives."

– I am proud of myself, because it was a big step – said Wiktoria Kujawa, one of the new Border Guard officers, in an interview with TVP3 Gdańsk.

– My main goal was to defend the borders, fulfill myself in service. And for my family to be proud of me – Błażej Książek presented his motivation.

Polish-German border. Joint patrols of the Border Guard and the Military Police

The Border Guard announced the beginning of cooperation, which is to help better secure the Polish-German border. In mid-June of this year, patrols appeared at the Polish-German border. Officers of the Nadodrzański Border Guard Unit were joined by soldiers of the Military Gendarmerie. "Joint patrols of border guards and soldiers are used in activities related to ensuring broadly understood security and maintaining public order," the release stated.
