Throughout The World Games 2017, just as during any other mass event, an increased number of police officers will be patrolling the streets.
Most of the police staff will be wearing uniforms, but plain clothes officers will also be present on the town.
Municipal Guards are also there in Wrocław, their role being to enforce order in the city. However, you can also ask municipal guards for assistance.
The police and municipal guards may find it necessary to take action in case of alcohol abuse and related disruptions.
