Exercises and demonstrations were led by police officers in the town's cathedral on Friday.
One hypothetical scenario involved a member of the congregation being attacked by a knife-wielding man.
The young clerics were also lectured on a number of other crisis scenarios and the most suitable course of action to be taken in each case.
The demonstrations were led by local police in Przemysł together with instructors from the Police School in Szczytno. (nh)
