Due to changing circumstances (new categories of crimes, technological development, information technology, changesin the methods of operation of the Police, etc.), the organisation and functioning of the Polish Police are undergoing continuoustransformation. This also concerns police escort units. The Police, as the formation with the responsibility for taking action to ensurethe safety of the public, are also responsible for the safe transportation of sentenced persons, those temporarily arrested or thosedetained. This requires a number of organisational actions. Escort units that previously were in the organisational structuresof the police units at the district (municipal) level have been integrated into the structures of Voivodeship Police Headquarters(Warsaw City Police Headquarters). When carrying out escort duties, superiors and officers must take into account the possibilityof the occurrence of unusual incidents in escort operations (e.g. escapes, attempts on life or wellbeing, murder, etc.). Therefore, escortunits, which are part of the preventative services, and other services (criminal, investigative), have a duty to carry out an ongoingassessment of the security of all transport carrying an escorted person (those convicted, temporarily arrested or otherwise detained).Too heavy a burden causing fatigue and a lack of alertness in the escorting police officers, poorly organised cooperation withthe Prison Service, insufficient knowledge about the prior behaviour of those escorted and a number of other reasons may resultin an increase in the number of incidents during the execution of escort duties. The following paper aims to show the Polish Policefrom the perspective of the organisational and structural changes taking place, as exemplified by unusual incidents occurring withinthe police escort service. It will outline the most common causes of unusual incidents in such operations. The aim of the study is alsoto present the numbers from the police forces involved and data of the number of those escorted by the police. The contents presentedcover only one area of police work. However, in the Author’s opinion they permit an assessment of the functioning of the Polish Policein terms of dynamics (increase, decrease) of unusual incidents occurring in escort operations.

The army’s accompanying tabors, which consisted of war wagons, provided transportation support to the army. The war wagons most often had specific equipment: food, technical equipment, escort, service, and horses. The war wagons were provided by private individuals as well as by urban centers. The obligation to send war vehicles through towns and royal towns is one of the longest-lasting war duties. Difficult situations of the city, wars, fires or other difficulties could lead to the release, temporary suspension, or replacement of the duty of war wagon, to another. The most common source terms for the war wagons were: currus, vehiculum and plaustrum. In the former Poland, these wagons were called skarbnymi and sometimes picznymi when the vast majority of the load was fodder and food. In modern literature, the most commonly used term is „wóz wojenny” – „war wagon”. War wagons underwent a numerous of transformations, and in time they gained a special reinforced skeleton and sides, and they were also used to fight in tabor formations and as protection of the camp. Many detailed information on this issue are provided by the records of treasury wagons and royal lustration. The wagons from the Sieradz and Łęczyca lands constituted a significant contribution to the total number of wagons from the royal cities of Poland.

Tabory towarzyszące armii w dawnych wiekach składały się z wozów wojennych, które stanowiły wsparcie transportowe wojska. Wozy te najczęściej miały ściśle określone wyposażenie: żywność, sprzęt techniczny, eskortę, obsługę oraz konie. Wystawiane były zarówno przez osoby prywatne, jak i przez ośrodki miejskie. Obowiązek wyprawiania wozów wojennych przez miasta i miasteczka królewskie jest jedną z najdłużej utrzymujących się powinności wojennych. Trudna sytuacja miasta, wojny, pożar czy inne trudności mogły doprowadzić do zwolnienia, czasowego zawieszenia lub zamiany powinności wyprawiania wozu na inną. Najczęściej pojawiającymi się źródłowymi terminami opisującymi wóz były: currus, vehiculum oraz plaustrum. W dawnej Polsce wozy te nazywano „skarbnymi”, a czasem „picznymi” – gdy znaczną, przeważającą część ładunku stanowiły pasza i żywność. We współczesnej literaturze najczęściej stosowanym terminem jest „wóz wojenny”. Wozy wojenne podlegały licznym przemianom, z czasem zyskały specjalny, wzmocniony szkielet i burty, stosowane były również do walki w taborach i osłony obozu. Wielu szczegółowych informacji w tej kwestii dostarczają nam rejestry wozów skarbnych oraz lustracje dóbr królewskich. Wozy z ziem sieradzkiej i łęczyckiej stanowiły znaczny procent ogółu wozów wyprawianych z miast królewskich całej Polski.
