May 1, 2015 – May 12, 2015 The Bill Blackwood Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas (LEMIT) welcomes a delegation of six Polish National Police executives to Huntsville as part of an annual international exchange program among LEMIT, Sam Houston State University (SHSU), and the Polish National Police. The delegation includes Director Robert Zolkiewski, Chief Adam Kolodziejski, Chief Sebastian Banaszak, Chief Jarosław Rzymkowski, Chief Marek Swiszcz, and Chief Tomasz Trawinski.

The International Police Program at (LEMIT) is tailored to the increasing need for a global perspective in law enforcement. The opportunity to interact with colleagues from around the world provides an invaluable experience in sharing and learning across a broad spectrum of law enforcement issues.

The delegation will visit local police departments, court systems, jails, prisons, and other criminal justice agencies throughout the state to exchange policing ideas between the two countries.
