Throughout Warsaw, police patrol cemeteries on All Souls’ Day, providing traffic control, human assistance, and medical aid to visitors in several incidents, according to reports.
All Souls’ Day: Police Offer Everyday Human Assistance
On All Souls’ Day, Warsaw police’s responsibilities extend beyond traffic regulation to include basic human kindness such as helping pedestrians cross streets, carrying heavy bouquets or candles for graves, and answering the direction‑seeking inquiries of passersby.
Morning Incident: Elderly Woman Suffering Severe Arm Pain
That morning a patrolman on the Brodnowski Cemetery approached an elderly woman who had just fallen and was complaining of a sharp pain in her arm. The officers escorted her to an ambulance, where she received medical attention, and an emergency response team was dispatched.
Afternoon Seizure: Young Woman Responded by Patrol
In the afternoon, officers from the Polish Police Prevention Department were watching the intersection of Kondratowicza and Malborska when they saw a young woman collapse on the asphalt. They immediately rushed to her, finding she had suffered an epileptic seizure while crossing the pedestrian signal. The responders administered necessary first‑aid measures; an ambulance was summoned and she was transported to the hospital.
Police Vigilance and Public Outreach
Police maintain constant visibility at Warsaw’s cemeteries, monitoring safety for all visitors. They remind the public that if anyone requires assistance beyond what they can provide, they should alert the nearest patrol.
