The aim of the study is to present the existing solutions to the functioning of the police eduction systems in selected Member States of the European Union. Using the results of the study, the Authors presented the organization of police schools and universities in fifteen European countries. On the basis of information obtained during the survey, that was conducted across Europe, the implementation of new organizational and legal solutions to the Polish police education system was proposed. The system of educating officers in Poland was presented in an institutional way, while the functioning of its leading component, i.e. the Police Academy in Szczytno, was described in detail. The material was divided into two parts because of its volume. The first part presents the organization and run of the research activity and ten police education systems in the Member States of the European Union were also characterised. Whereas the second part of the paper contains a continuation of the characteristics of police education systems in Europe (the next four countries were discussed), and also highlights the functioning of the police education system in Poland, with particular reference to the Police Academy in Szczytno. This part of the study also includes proposals for changes to the Polish police education system. The paper was made in the framework of the project "Construction of an IT system supporting communication in the Police and other services subordinated to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the aspect of internal security", project No. DOB-BIO7 /03/01/2015 of PLN 5 010 000 co-financed by the National Research and Development Center under the competition No.7 / 2015 and No. 7/2015 for the execution and financing of research and development projects for national defense and security or research and development works for national defence and security.

The Police Academy in Szczytno has a long and very variable history. Over the years, in place of existing militia schools of a military nature, new ones have been created, which were to meet the didactic needs of the then Civic Militia. Political changes from the early 1990s brought a wave of reforms in various areas of social and political life in The Republic of Poland. Serious reforms also concerned the security and public order authorities, including the newly appointed Police. A number of major changes were introduced to the level of police education, and in particular in the newly established Police Academy in Szczytno. These were not only formal changes, but ones that actually diametrically changed the profile and functioning of the academy. It was on the wave of these changes that the academy boldly started, and in the following years intensively developed, cooperation with Polish security and public order formations, to an extent that had not been done here until then. In this article, the author wishes to demonstrate, in a synthetic way, the participation of the academy in the process of improving the staff of the Polish security and public order system through intensively conducted cooperation in this field, not only in the didactic dimension, but also in scientific research

This study presents results of a questionnaire survey concerning the broad meaning of the employment relationship between European police higher colleges and their teaching staff. The analysed issues involved the selection criteria and procedures, mechanisms which motivate teachers to apply for a post in police colleges, police professional experience as a prerequisite to employment, nature of employment, timeliness of professional experience as well as the length of the employment contract. Analysis of the mentioned areas are to reveal common features (standards), which characterise employment of teaching and training staff in police higher colleges. The results of the analysis are accompanied with a presentation of selected individual solutions. In the case of police colleges, the revealed standards may serve as benchmarks in order to make it possible to evaluate the situation in one's own institution, whereas the individual solutions may by found useful as examples of good practices. The research was to verify the hypothesis that police professional experience has an important influence on the nature of employment of teaching and training staff in European police higher colleges. At the same time, the significance of this experience decreases in the case of the colleges which have an academic status.The first part of the paper contains the description of the international context of the work of higher police colleges, including its relation to the Bologna Process. The second part of the paper is concentrated on the findings concerning the teaching staff, which were recorded within the Project Survey on European Police Education (project carried out under the patronage of CEPOL). The third part of the study relates to the presented research. It is devoted to the methodology of research, specific tasks of police higher education institutions, academic status of the colleges as well as to the situation of civilian and police teachers. In the final conclusions the author referred to the question of the hypothesis verification.

The Area of Freedom, Security and Justice is a precondition for the functioning of the single market in Europe. Any menace of the market will directly jeopardize the quality of life of European citizens. Providing security and safety is not exclusively a responsibility for nations any more. Fighting typical сross-border crime requires an international approach in which member states of the EU must work together. Therefore the European dimension in policing should have a sound position in national police training programmes. This article makes a case, based on four separate arguments, for adhering a more prominent position in higher European police education to the policy-making process and content of the Stockholm Programme. As has become apparent from learning activities from the European Police College (CEPOL) and the Association of European Police Colleges (AEPC), the Stockholm programme offers an excellent learning tool because of the several concrete examples which allow a deepening of our understanding of police and judicial co-operation. In particular the Stockholm programme offers excellent opportunities to explore and to get familiar to the principle of availability, the principal of mutual recognition, the principle of subsidiarity related to the international dimension and finally the importance of human rights in the security policy.

In this article the author presents a modern approach to the study of creative thinking among law enforcement officers. The activities of a police officer are constantly associated with the solution of various problems, so everyone should be actively thinking. Thinking as mental process is always directed to reveal the deep connections of objective reality. According to many scientists the main task of the psychological studies of thinking is the study of the mental cognitive process, primarily of the internal laws of its occurrence. Therefore in author's opinion, a successful study of creative thinking of a police officer is only possible with considering the place of thinking in the structure of the creative activity phenomenon. After analyzing the results of theoretical and experimental studies of creative intellectual activity, as well as considering the results of his own work the author is convinced that it is necessary to pay close attention to some basic theoretical and practical provisions which characterize both the phenomenon of thinking, its process, components, forms, determinants, and the scope of its functioning. The paper presents also an opinion that the most productive modern ways of measuring creativity, based on the multiple-factor approach should be the methods and techniques aimed at studying dimensions (factors) presented in the paper. Bearing in mind the scientific tradition of forming a set of diagnostics instruments to study the qualities and properties of the human psyche, his abilities, developmental levels of mental processes, we can determine a tentative toolkit for empirical studies of creative thinking among police officers. The article provides an example of a set of techniques the author has compiled.

In the modern world, the term ‘security’ is so widely used that adjectives must be used to describe the type of scientific considerations, e.g. ‘public security’. Safety is an indispensable element affecting the functioning of every human being. The number of threats in the modern world is so large that it is necessary to introduce new educational solutions for a wide range of entities in order to effectively oppose any behaviour that causes discomfort to citizens. The activity of police education for most readers is associated with the preparation of an officer for service on our streets. Nevertheless, the scope of activity of this type of facilities is much wider. The following article attempts to present several levels of activity that indirectly translate into public security. The training offer of police schools is addressed not only to police officers, but also to external entities that carry out tasks related to ensuring security and public order.

2020 is another special year in the history of the Police College in Szczytno. The fourth decade of its existence begins in this year. At the same time, it is a good time to take a retrospective look at the past 30 years of functioning of this university. This is all the more valuable because its author has actively participated in its life for almost all of these years, as a listener and then as an employee (policeman) at the executive and management levels. The perspective of thirty years of functioning of the Police College presented in the article concerns primarily its evolution, which is a consequence of the expectations of the police management and the interior ministry. At the same time, it presents its development as an academic centre, providing education at an increasingly higher level. The real dimension of this direction of development is the University’s ability to award further, increasingly higher titles and degrees. This is the result of the involvement of the academic and teaching staff of the university, but also of its management. This article shows the path taken by the Police College in Szczytno from the university, being the resultant of the socio-political changes of the late 1980s and early 1990s of the last century, to the university being the leading academic centre in the Republic of Poland which educates in the field of social sciences and conducts research showing the relationships between the disciplines included in this one field of science. It not only allows the professional staff of the department’s services to be trained, but also to discover new opportunities for providing safety.

In 2015, the police management decided that the current training system is not able to meet the enormous training needs. The prospect of the inevitable departure from the service of experienced teaching teachers – police teachers will aggravate this problem. At the same time, many former police officers – although they probably would like to – do not have the opportunity to work for the state, despite the fact that the need for changes and the lack of systemic solutions in this matter has been spoken about for years. The use of retired officers in police education requires the creation of solutions enabling them to be employed as police and academic teachers. The article outlines the concept of proposed solutions, their effects and anticipated threats.
