POLICE EDUCATION IN THE SECOND REPUBLIC OF POLAND — OUTLINE OF THE PROBLEM

Abstract

The text is concerned with the history of police education in 1919–1939. The reconstruction of Polish statehood after World War I involved the establishment of a service responsible for security and order in the country in 1919. Parallel to the organisation of the State Police, work on the creation of a modern system of police education continued. Throughout the period of this force’s existence, many reorganisations were made in order to create a system that would ensure the professional preparation of police offi cers for service. The article presents only an outline of the changes related to police education in the interwar period, and does not fully exhaust this subject matter.
