Major cities have higher rates of crime against residents and foreign visitors than other areas.\u00a0Organized groups of thieves and pick-pockets operate at major tourist destinations, in train stations, and on trains, trams, and buses in major cities. Thieves often target overnight trains. Most pick-pocketing on trains occurs while boarding or disembarking. In a common scenario, a group of well-dressed young men surround you in the narrow aisle of the train, jostling and pick-pocketing you as they supposedly attempt to get around you. You should guard your passport, money, credit cards, and cell phone.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/polish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2018\/10\/police-30120_1280.png\" aria-label=\"Police 30120 1280 1024x690\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-7735\"  alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"690\" \/ src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/polish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2018\/10\/police-30120_1280-1024x690.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/polish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2018\/10\/police-30120_1280-1024x690.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/polish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2018\/10\/police-30120_1280-350x236.png 350w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/polish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2018\/10\/police-30120_1280-768x517.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/polish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2018\/10\/police-30120_1280.png 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Polish bars and dance clubs are generally safe for the vast majority of visitors. However, as in many cities, people may approach you with offers of illicit drugs, which are against the law in Poland. Be mindful that security personnel at nightclubs could respond more forcefully than at similar venues in the United States. Whereas casinos and gaming establishments are government-regulated, some are affiliated with, or have attracted the interest of, organized crime.<\/p>\n<p>kidnapping &#8211;\u00a0<strong>porwanie<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>kidnapper &#8211;\u00a0<strong>porywacz<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>kidnap &#8211;\u00a0<strong>porywa\u0107<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>murder &#8211;\u00a0<strong>morderstwo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>murderer &#8211;\u00a0<strong>morderca<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>robbery &#8211;\u00a0<strong>napad<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>robber &#8211;\u00a0<strong>napastnik<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>burglary &#8211;\u00a0<strong>w\u0142amanie<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>burglar &#8211;\u00a0<strong>w\u0142amywacz<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>shoplifting &#8211;\u00a0<strong>kradzie\u017c<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>shoplifter &#8211;\u00a0<strong>z\u0142odziej<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>forgery &#8211;\u00a0<strong>fa\u0142szerstwo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>forger &#8211;\u00a0<strong>fa\u0142szerz<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>vandalism &#8211;\u00a0<strong>wandalizm<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>vandal &#8211;\u00a0<strong>wandal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>vandalize &#8211;\u00a0<strong>niszczy\u0107\/demolowa\u0107<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>theft &#8211;\u00a0<strong>kradzie\u017c<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>thief &#8211;\u00a0<strong>z\u0142odziej<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>steal &#8211;\u00a0<strong>kradzie\u017c<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>rape &#8211;\u00a0<strong>gwa\u0142t<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>rapist &#8211;\u00a0<strong>gwa\u0142ciciel<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>witness &#8211;\u00a0<strong>\u015bwiadek<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>sentence &#8211;\u00a0<strong>wyrok<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>trial &#8211;\u00a0<strong>proces<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>arrest &#8211;\u00a0<strong>areszt<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>judge &#8211;\u00a0<strong>s\u0119dzia<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>ransom &#8211;\u00a0<strong>okup<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>reward &#8211;\u00a0<strong>nagroda<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>suspect &#8211;\u00a0<strong>podejrzany<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>fraud &#8211;\u00a0<strong>oszustwo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>offense &#8211;\u00a0<strong>wykroczenie<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>the death penalty &#8211;\u00a0<strong>kara \u015bmierci<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>community service &#8211;\u00a0<strong>praca spo\u0142eczna\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>fine &#8211;\u00a0<strong>grzywna\/mandat<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>voice recognition &#8211;<strong>\u00a0identyfikacja g\u0142osowa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>to commit a crime &#8211;\u00a0<strong>pope\u0142ni\u0107 przest\u0119pstwo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>handcuffs &#8211;\u00a0<strong>kajdanki<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>emergency number &#8211;\u00a0<strong>numer alarmowy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>investigation &#8211;\u00a0<strong>\u015bledztwo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>interrogation &#8211;\u00a0<strong>przes\u0142uchanie<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>lawyer &#8211;\u00a0<strong>prawnik<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>judge &#8211;\u00a0<strong>s\u0119dzia<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>attorney &#8211;\u00a0<strong>adwokat<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>jury &#8211;\u00a0<strong>\u0142awa przysi\u0119g\u0142ych<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>innocent &#8211;\u00a0<strong>niewinny<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>guilty &#8211;\u00a0<strong>winny<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Stay safe!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<img width=\"350\" height=\"236\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/polish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2018\/10\/police-30120_1280-350x236.png\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/polish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2018\/10\/police-30120_1280-350x236.png 350w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/polish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2018\/10\/police-30120_1280-768x517.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/polish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2018\/10\/police-30120_1280-1024x690.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/polish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2018\/10\/police-30120_1280.png 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><p>Generally, Poland is a safe country for tourists, although some areas are best to avoid or needed to be vigilant during the stay.
