Summary

[edit]
Description

Poland (Polish: Polska), officially the Republic of Poland (Rzeczpospolita Polska), is a country in Central Europe bordered by Germany to the west; the Czech Republic and Slovakia to the south; Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania to the east; and the Baltic Sea and Kaliningrad Oblast, a Russian exclave, to the north.

During the Revolutions of 1989, communist rule was overthrown and Poland became what is constitutionally known as the "Third Polish Republic". Poland is a unitary state, made up of sixteen voivodeships (Polish: województwo). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poland

Policja is the generic name for the police in Poland. The Polish police force was known as policja throughout the Second Polish Republic (1918–1939), and in modern post-communist Republic of Poland since 1990. Its current size is 103.309 officers and ca. 12.000 civilian employees . Among the branches in the force are: Criminal service, Traffic Police services, Prevention Service and Supporting Service. Most towns and some villages have its own City guard, which supervises public order and road safety; however City guard have jurisdiction only over misdemeanours and in cases of crimes may serve only supportive role for the state police.
