Last month, the Border Guard Training Centre in Kętrzyn, Poland, completed another edition of their specialist document examiner training programme, with participants gaining hands on experience with foster+freeman VSC workstations and deepening their knowledge in the field.

The 5-day programme was attended by officers from Border Guard units across the country, and provided a wealth of information on specialist document security features, including:

• The technological processes used to produce security features.
• Document construction and personalisation methods.
• Common methods used to falsify documents.
• The effective use of technical devices in verifying the authenticity of documents.

The training was made possible by the Integrated Border Management Fund as part of a major project to strengthen the potential of Polish Border Guard officers in questioned document examination.
