An unusual situation in Tczew (Pomerania). One of the local traffic police officers organized an online fundraiser to repair the air conditioning in his police car. The Tczew police spokeswoman emphasized that it was his private initiative and added that the fundraiser was closed after a dozen or so minutes.
On one of the portals there was a fundraiser entitled “for the repair of air conditioning in the WRD KPP Tczew police car”. It contained a full description of the problem. “As officers of the Road Traffic Department of the Tczew Police Headquarters, we take care of road safety every day, working in difficult and changing conditions. Unfortunately, for 5 months we have been struggling with the problem of faulty air conditioning in one of our police cars. Despite numerous reports and requests, we have not managed to obtain financial support to repair the faulty air conditioning. On hot days and during long-term work, the lack of air conditioning becomes not only inconvenient, but also dangerous. The police car is used every day to patrol the roads, and the faulty air conditioning effectively makes it difficult to perform duties” – we could read in the description of the fundraiser, which quickly disappeared. The local portal tcz.pl wrote about the case

“Private initiative of a policeman”
We asked the Tczew police spokeswoman about the collection. – I confirm, the collection was authentic and lasted a dozen or so minutes. The policeman started it on a private initiative and did not consult it with his superiors. That is why it was removed and did not bring any effect. There were no payments – Sergeant Katarzyna Ożóg told tvn24.pl. – We have to act in accordance with procedures and in the order of reports. This vehicle will definitely be repaired, but we do not have an exact date when it will be done – she added.
