Summary
The issue of national heritage is an inseparable element of the existence of every nation. Officers acting as voivodeship coordinators for the fight against crime against cultural goods and national heritage (there is only one such police officer in each voivodeship) cooperate with voivodeship conservators of monuments in the exchange of information and experience, and the coordination of activities to ensure effective protection of monuments against criminal activities. Officers dealing with organised crime who encounter issues related to the protection of cultural goods and national heritage in the course of their proceedings raise their level of knowledge in this area on their own and, if possible, observe the market for the circulation of works of art and monuments (usually via the internet). EUROPOL, CEPOL and FRONTEX should be more active.
