The District Office of Public Security in Wadowice was one of the most important institutions of the new political power in Poland between 1945-1956 in the district of Wadowice. Although it was supposed to uphold public order and security of citizens, its officers committed a number of criminal offenses, from minor, such as theft or battery, to the strongest, such as rape or murder. Some of these crimes stemmed directly from the tasks and the nature of the service of a totalitarian regime, others were committed by the officers offstage, for personal gain, or even out of pure sense of impunity. During the first five years of the District Office at least 100 officers served and at least 10 percent of them committed one offense, but among these, some committed more than one. This indicates a defect in the process of staff recruitment and a prevalence of political criteria over substantive criteria in the process of workers selection for Office of Security. With a large rotation of Security Office personnel, such a selection system negatively affected its quality, and the lack of control and lack of punishment, sometimes even consent to illegal actions, caused the exposure of the worst tendencies and characteristic traits in the officers.
