The appearance on the Polish market of new and innovative propellant devices, difficult to classify in accordance withthe Act on weapons and ammunition, drives the need for a continuous process of assessing their threat to human life and health.This is related to the lack of measurable tools for assessing the impact of the use of such devices. Research on this topic is beingundertaken by a group of scientists and partner research centres who have formed a consortium and have won funding throughthe competition for research and development in relation to national defence and security announced by the National Centre forResearch and Development (NCRD). The consortium has created a development project entitled Velocity testing of lowenergy projectiles. The project is led by the Police Central Forensic Laboratory in Warsaw, and also includes the PoliceAcademy, Szczytno, the Military Institute of Armament Technology, Zielonka, the Institute of Security Technologies “Moratex”,Łódź, and the Research and Development Centre of Research and Didactic Equipment COBRABiD Ltd., Warsaw. The aim of thisproject is to develop a special device for measuring the velocity of low energy projectiles, to conduct velocity tests and ricochettests on the most commonly occurring low energy projectiles, as well as to provide an assessment of their impact on humanbody. Preparation of the test bench prototype for measuring velocity of low energy projectiles, and the development of researchmethodology adequate for the diagnostic equipment used, will enable ballistics experts and other potential buyers and usersto thoroughly evaluate the trajectory of a projectile, energy at the point of impact, and to assess the effects of hitting a selectedtarget. The authors discuss the project objectives and present the partial results of the studies conducted so far, focusing on the tasksplanned for implementation by the Police Academy, Szczytno.

This article is a partial summary of research conducted by the Police Academy, Szczytno, as a part of a research projectDOBR-BIO4/045/13067/2013 financed from funds for the “Design individualization of concealable ballistic vests” project.The project is being carried out in 2013–2015 in a scientific-industrial consortium composed of the Institute of Security Technologies“MORATEX” in Lodz, the Central Institute of Labour Protection in Warsaw, the Enterprise of Protective Equipment “MASKPOL S.A”in Konieczki and the Military Institute of Armament Technology in Zielonka. The project lead is the Institute of Security Technologies“MORATEX” in Lodz. The project is financed by The National Centre of Research and Development in Warsaw. This article describesa part of research conducted by the Police Academy, Szczytno. The main aim of the research project is individualization of the designof a concealable vest so as to make it appropriate for the needs of its future user. To this end, a procedure will be designed usinga scanning device, which will allow researchers to adjust the vest to the user. Apart from being bulletproof, the vest is meantto protect from dangers of a needle, spike or knife attack. The scope of the necessary protection will be established after the analysisof collected data regarding attacks on police. This publication focuses particularly on issues connected with the physical safetyof police officers, validation procedures and analysis of threats resulting from police interventions, as well as procedures concerningthe protection of police officers’ personal data.
