The project will produce a protectivedressing set for injuries incurred in the performance of duties by the uniformed services and proposals for regulating the legaland procedural aspects for its application, resulting from a selected and developed technology. Moreover, part of the project was,inter alia, the analysis of legal acts in force in the various formations subordinate to the Minister of Internal Affairs, and relatingto the obligation to provide first aid and equipping officers to administer it. This analysis was performed by experts selectedfrom within the various departments. On the basis of the material collected, the current legal solutions applying to the differentformations were juxtaposed. The article presents the results of research that takes into account an analysis of the legal provisionsgoverning the application of dressing sets in the Police, as well as a proposal for legal amendments determining their effectiveapplication in service.
