The article discusses the issues related to organizational changes in the Polish police, the role of the management and executive staff in the changes after the transformation after 1989. The author also presents a comparative analysis of the results of research on the quality of management information in the Polish police in 2002 and 2016. The analysis presented indicates that the Polish police still requires many changes, although many years have passed since the political transformation in 1989. The process of improving police work organisation should always be the main object of attention of the police management. Ensuring efficient and effective implementation of public tasks is one of the key problems of administration bodies, both on national and local level. The role of public institutions’ managers is to develop structure, processes, work organisation in order to fully satisfy citizens’ needs and optimise use of resources. According to the author, it is necessary to combine tactical tasks with police strategy. Organizational structures require constant development and more flexible solutions should be adopted. It seems that it is necessary, as in previous years, to establish a team which will prepare an analysis of the functioning of the Police organisation in a holistic way and indicate the directions of its improvement.
The installation of communist authorities in Poland after World War II was associated with the introduction of Soviet education models. The resistance of the teaching community to the educational policy pushed by the Polish Workers’ Party during the educational congresses in 1945 resulted in repression and harassment, the victims of which were teachers and school management staff and school administration. Starting with the rigged elections in 1947, the ideologization of education began and the fight to educate a new generation began without the participation of some teachers. According to available data, between 1946 and 1956 in the Kielce Voivodeship 49 people were dismissed from managerial positions. As a result of political events in 1956, Rehabilitation Commissions for education workers were established, which collected documentation regarding the causes of repression and the circumstances of dismissals of school principals and managers. They acted on behalf of the injured and awarded compensation in the form of acts of rehabilitation. However, oftentimes they did not form the basis for improving the situation of repressed people, whose careers and professional lives were disrupted. Instead, their activities resulted in half-hearted changes and the actual removal of inconvenient educators from teaching children.
