The article considers basic threats to public safety and the possibility of reducing them on the basis of examples from Walbrzych city and district. The authors describe how the municipal system of the public safety is managed, in particular the use of visual monitoring in Walbrzych. The monitoring system was created in 2002 and it was enlarged from ten to eighteen cameras in 2010. The authors collected data since 2000 to 2010 from eight Police Headquarters in Walbrzych city and district and converted into it indicators. This work contains the analysis of the impact of applying preventive new techniques such as visual monitoring in relation to the number of initiated proceedings based on the crime rate in Walbrzych city and district. Moreover the article shows comparative results based on the rates in the chosen area, Poland and the EU. The data for Poland and EU was collected since 1960, then aggregated and converted into indicators per 1000 inhabitants. The results of the research are surprising, because the system of the visual monitoring in Walbrzych did not influence the reduction of crime in the monitored areas in a significant way, but did cause an increase in the subjective sense of security of the local community.
