In the article one can find an analysis of the state of security in respect of the reorganised communes of the Province of Masovia province after the restoration of the police stations. The restoration of police stations is a switch towards a creative model of Policing bringing it closer to the problems of society. It is the model of functioning of the Police based on the philosophy of community policing. Therefore, the article is also an attempt to address the question as to whether the solutions applied have proved to be effective. During the period 2010–2013 in the area of the Masovian garrison 70 police stations were decommissioned in 70 communes. As a consequence of extensive public consultations and as a result of an analysis of recommendations reported concerning reconstruction of Police structures in communes, it was decided to create 9 police stations in the years 2016–2017. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the police stations created, the data analysed referred to the number of investigated crimes, the crime detection rate, the number of police officers in the patrol service and a response time in the supervised area. The statistical data dating from 2013–2016, so from the time when in the area of aforementioned communes police stations did not exist and from the first half-year of 2017 when police stations were functioning again, have been correlated and analysed. The analyses revealed that the state of security has improved. It has been demonstrated that the structural changes implemented in the functioning of Police are very effective in the communes researched. The improvement in the statistical data is not the only positive result of the changes. The most significant improvement is the increased sense of security among the local residents who have an easier access to Police.

This article discusses objects relating to the extraction of oil and gas from the North Sea and now held in the collection of National Museums Scotland. Oil and gas extraction and processing has been a key industry in Scotland in recent decades, important to the economy and also to the debate about Scotland’s independence. The industry is now approaching an end and it is expected that, by 2040, around 470 installations will have been closed and dismantled. In this context, the issue of preservation becomes extremely important. National Museums Scotland has been collecting and display these objects for some time. The acquisiton in 2017 of the Murchison oil platform flare tip was a key achievement and also probably the biggest challenge for staff in this area to date. Weighing nearly a ton and standing 4 metres tall, the flare tip is not only a symbol of industry but of human history, and accompanying audiovisual documentation, oral history, images and report book entries add depth to this and increase display potential. The flare tip is also a starting point for discussion about contemporary collecting and the future of energy collections in Scotland. The article discusses the significance of this object and the work relating to its preservation and display.

Tematem artykułu są zgromadzone w National Museums Scotland zabytki związane z wydobyciem ropy naftowej i gazu z Morza Północnego. Niegdyś wydobycie i przetwórstwo ropy naftowej i gazu było ważną gałęzią przemysłu, istotną dla ekonomii oraz debaty o niezawisłości Szkocji. Teraz się kończy i przewiduje się, że około roku 2040 jakieś 470 instalacji pozostanie zamkniętych i zdemontowanych. W tym kontekście niezwykłego znaczenia nabiera kwestia zachowania obiektów związanych z przemysłem wydobycia ropy naftowej. National Museums Scotland od lat zajmuje się gromadzeniem i eksponowaniem tych zabytków. Jedną z największych zdobyczy Muzeum i prawdopodobnie największym wyzwaniem dla jego pracowników jest końcówka pochodni z platformy Murchison – ważąca blisko tonę i licząca prawie 4 m wysokości. Końcówka ta to nie tylko symbol przemysłu – opowiada ona ludzką historię, a towarzysząca jej przejęciu dokumentacja audiowizualna, historia ustna, wizerunki i wpisy do książki raportowej dokumentujące tę historię pogłębiają potencjał wystawowy obiektu. Stanowi ona również punkt wyjścia dyskusji wokół współczesnych zbiorów oraz przyszłości zabytków energii w Szkocji. Artykuł przedstawia znaczenie tego zabytku oraz prace związane z jego zabezpieczeniem i ekspozycją.
