Entry into the European Union (EU) and the Schengen Area have not only opened new possibilities, but also resulted in new obligations for the new Member States in the area of ensuring public safety. Abolition of internal border controls within the EU has increased the responsibility and workload of the police forces. It has become of great importance for police officers, especially for those working in the border territories, to have a good knowledge of not only national, but also EU and international legislation and that of the neighbouring Member States. The implementation of the Schengen acquis communautaire provisions – is one of the most important tasks for the law enforcement institutions in implementing the EU Internal security policy. Seeking to ensure proper and comprehensive application of the Schengen requirements within the police field of activity, it is necessary to provide police officers with knowledge on the available tools designed for enhanced international cooperation. Moreover special attention is to be paid to joint actions in the internal border regions: joint patrolling, control of migration flows, cross-border surveillance and hot-pursuit. The article presents new opportunities of strengthening police professional competences through training under the framework of an international project. The analysis of the content of the international training organized has allowed identification of the main problems in the field of international police cooperation. The training events have highlighted the main problems in the field of international police cooperation, as well as the relevance and necessity of this kind of police training. It has also allowed proposals for the new and future trends in the sphere of training.

The following article focuses on the issue of increasing violence directed towards police officers. It presents a brief profile and research status concerning violence against the police, as well as the definition of violence. The conducted research was based on the data from the Saxon Police Information System (PASS) and it took into consideration not only the age of police officers, but also sex difference. The aim of such approach was to determine discrepancies in perceiving violence by policemen and policewomen, especially in the context of a growing number of women in German police. After analysing the definition of violence and its particular examples, the results showed that there were not any significant sex-conditioned differences in the perception of violence. The group most exposed to such behaviours appeared to be young policemen. Policewomen and older policemen mentioned the increase in aggressive attitudes, however they did not adduce any significant changes in violent behaviours against themselves. What is more, the study suggested that policewomen were much less often attacked by men than policemen. One of the aims of the research was to analyse circumstances in which police officers usually encounter violence and what its sources were. The study also showed that in cases when the police was called because of an aggressive behaviour incident, after the arrival of the law enforcers aggression escalated, therefore it is necessary to include this problematic issue in future training programs for police officers.

The article presents the essence and operational potential of the information and analysis system supporting the decision making process within the framework of security-related policing operations. This system is being developed by a scientific consortium led by the Police Academy, Szczytno. The project finance is provided by the National Centre for Research and Development. The main element to ensure the effectiveness of the system in question will be an application with a planning and decision mechanism and prediction algorithms. The above mentioned algorithms are designed to provide information on the probability of success of police operations and on the necessary costs which must be incurred in a given crisis situation in order to implement their individual, expected variants. Using historical data and algorithms developed on its basis, the system is supposed to indicate the relevant forces and resources required, the methods and tactics for operations and characteristics of the security infrastructure. Moreover, the publication presents the fundamental mechanisms of the police command and control process during emergency situations and general remarks regarding the professional development of those who manage these types of policing operations. In the author’s opinion, of particular importance in this respect is the course addressed to commissioned police officers trained to be commanders or deputy commanders of security-related policing operations, where classes are conducted using a simulator for police operations in emergency situations. It is a form of advanced command staff training with the use of a virtual computer simulation system. The simulator makes it possible to develop algorithms for dealing with crisis incidents and to improve the command process during emergencies. One of the practical goals of developing the information and analysis system is its integration with the simulator for police operations in emergency situations. In this respect, it is supposed to be a tool used in multimedia decision-making training. The author comes to the conclusion that the expected functionalities of the information and analysis system will have a positive effect both on the educational process of improving professional qualifications of commanders of security-related policing operations and on the real planning, implementation and assessment of the operations themselves.

The main purpose of this article is to describe a development of the police training and cooperation which has changed a lot in the past 15 years. The Association of European Police Colleges was established by 17 police academies from then 15 Member States of the European Union which signed the Memorandum of Understanding defining the objectives and structure of the Association. Nowadays academies from the current 27 EU Member States are all present in the Association, but there are also members from outside of the EU such as Russia, Georgia or Azerbaijan. All members share the same belief that cooperation is essential in the fight against crime and that police training has an essential role to play, notably in the exchange of information and good practices. The article also deals with three kinds of activities which have been developed by the AEPC since 1996: the AEPC calendar of courses, the annual conference and the European Senior Police Officers Course. Moreover, it describes a few historical partners of the Association of European Police Colleges – the Central European Police College (MEPA), The European Police College (CEPOL), as well as more recent partners such as the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and the Fundamental Rights Agency (FRA). In conclusion the author of the article underlines that the AEPC remains a unique opportunity for colleges to be a part of a large network of expertise, exchange and research in the field of police training, a network with essential specificities such as flexibility, expertise, cooperation, training.

Introduction. The aim of the research was to clarify the relationship between policemen’s knowledge and their real motor competence and physical fitness that enable them to execute operational tasks. Material and methods. The study was conducted on a group of 52 out of 224 officers of the Intelligence Department and the Municipal Police Intervention in Wroclaw in 2011. It analyzed the responses to the questionnaire developed by the authors and the internal police reports on the results of the physical competence test. Results and conclu­sions. Analysis of the test results obtained by officers in periodic performance testing indicates a low level of motor skill competence. The mean overall score of all trials is 3.41 for the whole sample. This represents only 56% of the lower limit of the maximum level of efficiency, but in practice, considering the nature of any potential operational activities taken, in many individual cases it seems to be insufficient. The profile of the tested police officers’ efficiency is rather strength-oriented with a clear trunk muscle strength dominance (4.25). Definitely, a weaker motor competence of all subjects is was the one identified on the basis of running tests. Strength test results can be considered quite as bad (2.85). The state of knowledge regarding the nature and manner of motor competence development is low and insufficient to affect self-improvement in the tested officers’ fitness. The respondents generally do not take advantage of the opportunity to improve their motor competence in specialized activities carried out by trained staff. A low level of health awareness of the police­men can also result in a low motor competence condition. The age of officers and their level of education slightly differentiates the results and do not give the grounds to a clear indi­cation of dependence.
