As a uniformed and armed force, whose mission it is to serve and protect both people’s safety and public order, the police have been established on the basis of the 6 April 1990 Police Act. The basic police responsibilities cover protection of health, life and property against unlawful attacks, protection of public order and safety — including assurance of peace in public places and on public transport, investigation of crime, prosecution of offenders, and finally counter-terrorist activity. In addition, police are obliged to initiate and organize activities designed to prevent crime, minor offences and criminogenic phenomena. The list of police tasks is steadily getting longer and longer and it seems that this upward trend will continue in the years to come. This makes it necessary to implement legal and organizational solutions with a view to enhancing the effectiveness of policing — on the one hand measured by a systematic search for increasingly rational procedures, and on the other one by a decreasing number of illegal activities undertaken by the criminal underworld due to their awareness of the risk of being detected and the certainty of punishment. A good way of improving police performance is to precisely determine the tasks carried out as part of preventive action as well as decisive action aimed at elimination of identified threats or their consequences.

This article presents the material scope of public safety and public order in the context of the Polish police jurisdiction. The considerations are based on the assumption that safety, as one of the social rights, is an inalienable human right while human rights are the product of moral and political agreements between people. When attempting to define the material scope of the notions of "public safety" and "public order", it should be noted that both in the process of making and applying the law and in the legal literature, the use of the term "public safety and order" has been accepted. Nevertheless, the concepts of public safety and public order are not unequivocal. The relevant literature presented in this article is dominated by approaches that define both public safety and public order as a desirable state. Most often, public safety is related to the functioning of the state and its citizens, while public order refers to a narrower sphere of complying with norms and maintaining the efficiency of public institutions . Both concepts are of an administrative nature, i.e. they are concerned with issues related to the implementation and observance of regulations in force in a given country. Public order, just like public safety, is also a certain internal condition of a state, as no organised community can allow its members to exercise their will without any restrictions. Rules governing the conduct and coexistence of community members are defined by appropriate norms, such as customs, moral and religious principles or legal norms, all of which are subject to permanent changes, which in turn makes it necessary for the institutions established to protect public order and safety to adapt by systematic improvement of their organisation in the functional dimension.

At the moment in Poland, specialised dispositional groups such as the armed forces, the police, and various guards and other services are constituted. The fundamental tool that the state has at its disposal to counteract potential threats to internal security and public order, and to react appropriately to existing threats is a separate body — the police. The main objective of this paper is to define the practical benefits which can be gained as a result of organising cooperation between the police units mentioned above in an appropriate way. This paper is an attempt to present practical cooperation between a local police unit and the Police Academy in Szczytno. It also points out the distinct nature of functioning of the Regional Police Headquarters in Katowice and its dependent units; it describes the impact that cooperation with an educational institution has on the quality of preserving public security and order as well as the practical aspect of such cooperation on the example of the organisational units of the Polish National Police specified above.
