EN

The article, based on an analysis of police records, the author’s own experience and available literature, presents the development of medical rescue in the Polish Police in the years 1990–2019. The article also gives examples of police rescue operations, which indicate police offi cers’ professional preparation to help other people in a state of sudden health emergency. On the basis of the analysis of the collected relevant literature, the author has adopted a hypothesis that the medical rescue service of the Polish Police, after many years of transformations, has become an essential element of the daily service of Polish Police offi cers.
