The article refers to the currently shaped issues of human personal safety in relation to threats arising from events and situations. At the same time, it points out that an exhaustive expression of the need for security is rather unfeasible because this scope in personal view will be categorized by: physiological properties, age, environmental and situational conditions, knowledge, and socio-cultural conditions, as well as life experiences. The author focuses in particular on the analysis of organized crime in Mexico and the impact of these structures on the personal safety of people, social, ethnic, and professional groups, indicating their causes. The rooting or deepening of the indicated social problems and the lack of perspectives to improve them means that the main assumptions of the security strategy, including among others public safety improvement programs, and thus personal safety, is a very complex and extended process. The analysis of the functioning of the Mexican state in the security sphere clearly shows that in this respect state institutions transfer this issue to the citizen. Fears for their safety result from the presence of criminal structures, shocking ones, their uncompromising attitude, sense of impunity, and ruthlessness towards anyone who has been defined by "crime syndicates" as a threat to their existence.

The aim of the study is not only an attempt to define the concept of “apoliticality of the police” and its meaning, but above all, to draw attention to the increasingly emerging problem of interference by the participants of the political scene in the work of the Polish Police. For the purposes of this study, the notions of “political neutrality” and “apoliticality” are equivalent and synonymous. The main problem is the search for an answer to the question of whether the Polish Police nowadays are adequately protected against the influence of political pressure? The text uses theoretical research methods, including literature analysis and statistical data analysis. It was assumed that the apolitical nature of the police means the lack of involvement of police officers in political activities and the scrupulous and impartial performance of official duties, regardless of what is happening on the Polish political scene. The results of the conducted analyses allow the conclusion that the apolitical nature of the Polish Police is a mystification because it is insufficiently protected against the influence of politics, which as a consequence leads to a reduction in its effectiveness and social trust.

The article aims to present considerations and attempts to answer the questions, what dimension – trust, loyalty, commitment and specific expectations or qualifications – influences the process of staffing authorities of the Police and what dependencies and relationships with other organizational processes constitute the basis of personal decisions in Ministry of Internal Affairs and Administration. The work presents partial results of surveys of areas associated with politicisation of the Police, especially at the management level, their reception and perception in terms of institutional efficiency of formation. Research was carried out by a survey (quantitative using paper standarised questionnaire) in two research groups: students and police officers, led to interesting results. Their presentation should be a supplement to subsequent disputes about apoliticism and human resources management in the Police. Peculiarly for further development of research on apoliticism of the Police and causes profound changes in post-election times in higher management staff of the Police, is the lack of such studies of this undoubtedly credible problem.
