Frontis – Lower Silesia Association of Probation Officers

The Lower Silesian Association of Probation Officers FRONTIS was established in 2010 as a response to the specific need to create a space free of service dependencies and procedures, a place where they could undertake joint projects, improve their professional workshop and build effective work tools. They are probation officers who want to co-create civil society, they work with people at risk of marginalisation and social exclusion on a daily basis. They try to act in the spirit of the strategy of modernising the area of ​​justice in Poland for the years 2014-2020. They are oriented to the needs of citizens, especially the weakest, threatened by violence, marginalisation and social exclusion. We support local public security systems, we practice a legal education.
