Cadets are systematically involved in optional classes to effectively address the challenges of wartime in their professional activities.
For instance, trainees from the Institute of Law and the Training of Specialists for Units of the National Police attended optional classes on criminal law and the investigation of war crimes. They studied the peculiarities of applying criminal procedural legislation in documenting war crimes, as well as problematic issues related to the violation of laws and customs of war.
During the classes, cadets explored various approaches to resolving situations related to war crimes. They analyzed historical examples and examined real court decisions. They attempted to develop their own strategies for preventing such actions in the future.
