The article presents the changes accompanying the development of the Polish Police after the political transformation that took place in Poland in 1989. Particular attention has been paid to socio-economic changes and accompanying changes in law enforcement authorities, starting from the change of the name from the Militia to the Police, through personnel, structural and legal changes. It was also pointed out that currently operating Police refers to the tradition of the police from the interwar period. In 2019, the Polish Police celebrates its 100th anniversary and it is a professional formation serving the public.

The period sees the transition of the ordinary fighter from feudal levy, yeoman or city burgher militia, to subject in an absolute polity, to today’s concept of the free citizen in a democratic state. In the period, the Swiss Confederacy was the only major polity that was not monarchical, but republican, and at the same time eschewed a standing army in favour of continued reliance on militia throughout. A commonwealth’s military organisation is clearly one of fundamental importance to its own understanding of the nature of rule - its “constitution”. The article traces the transition and relates it to the concept of government under the different theories of the period.
