Human resources management today stands on qualifications and competence. Those have become proven tools in managing staff in various commercial and non-profit organisations. Competences of the Police Officer are defined in this paper basing on the specialist literature on the subject. Assuming that the starting point is professional competence of the Police Officer as an employee, we acknowledge that competence is specific to circumstances and organisational environment. It is also particular to a person and adaptable in changing situations. Defining competences of the Police Officer the author takes into consideration domestic and international research on the subject, its goals and methodology, nature of the police work and own professional experience. He asserts that competence is the flexibility in adapting to changing circumstances by applying knowledge, experience, skills, personality, attitude and behaviour of the Police Officer, all focused on the effective performance. The author assumes that model competence of the Police Officer is a set of key competences indispensable for the effective performance of the Police Officer. The list of key competences may be a foundation for the competence structure of a ground level police unit. The structure, which should encompass all positions in the examined groups, may in turn become a basis for creating job descriptions. Thus, competences required for a particular position become requirements for the Police Officer filling it. The comparison of the desired competences, drawn from the list of key competences, with the actual competences of the Police Officers may mark out directions for training and professional development.

The article presents a relatively integrated totality of psychological knowledge, covering the main areas of activity and functions of the police officers as well as their professional self-development and maintenance of the necessary personal and functional mental state. The Author studies the system of psychological knowledge relevant to the police activities. This knowledge system is determined by the content of professional police activities, its functions and tasks. Psychological knowledge necessary in the work the police officers is not limited to the knowledge useful for effective implementation of professional functions. Along with these there is relevant psychological knowledge and recommendations on ensuring the normal state of their own nervous and mental resources considering stressogenic activity and high nervous and mental stress as well as the knowledge necessary for professional and personal self-development, including auto-correction of psychological deformations caused by professional activity. This knowledge and recommendations represent an independent branch of scientific and psychological support of police activities. The author believes that in the detection of illegal acts, exposure and bringing perpetrators to account, for example, such sections of psychological knowledge appear relevant as: a psychological characteristic of offences, personal psychological prerequisites of unlawful behaviour and the nature of criminality in the psychological structure of the personality, the main parameters of the psychological assessment of criminal groups , the importance of various mental states and properties of human personality as the internal causes of behavior, psychological recommendations for communication with various categories of citizens to identify the perpetrators and expose crimes, psychological recommendations for effective conducting of search operations in detecting crimes and their investigation.The author describes the main types of psychological skills and professionally important personal qualities, the formation of which provides a high level of professional competence of the police officers.

In order to respond to all the fast changes that are happening, it is necessary to act quickly and to be adaptable, both from the point of view of organizations and individuals, having necessary knowledge and skill and continually developing human potentials. The year 2020 with the COVID-19 pandemic has shown how those changes can happen overnight and create a need for the companies’ transformation. That is the new clear reason for the big interest in researching start-ups. Start-ups are innovative and fast-developing companies, bringing new solutions and new products, and working under extreme uncertainty, therefore, they require specific skills, knowledge, and other competencies of their founders. Competencies, on the other side, are predispositions, knowledge and skills needed to respond and adapt to changes. The aim of the paper is to propose a theoretical model of relationships between start-up founders’ competence potential and outcomes of their ventures. The theoretical model is based on the Upper Echelons Theory presented by Hambrick and Mason (1984) and the scale measuring competence potential of employees in innovative enterprises proposed by Rakowska and Sitko-Lutek (2015). Competence potential of start-up founders is still not researched in depth, so the proposed theoretical method could be used as the practical research methodology.
