MICHALKOWSKI  COLLECION

      Provedbom zakona u Poljskoj bave se policijske snage, samostalno sudstvo, tužilaštva (od kojih je najviši Generalni javni tužitelj) te neke manje specijalizirane službe. Poljske policijske snage su znane kao POLICJA u periodu Druge poljske republike (1918-1939) i u moderno, postkomunističko doba, u Republici Poljskoj od 1990. Policija broji 100000 pripadnika u uniformi te oko 25000 civilnih uposlenika. Među granama policije su i kriminalistička služba, prometna policija, preventivne jedinice (interventna i druge). Mnogi gradovi i sela imaju svoje gradske straže, čiji pripadnici rješavaju manje prekršaje, a u slučajevima većih kriminalnih djela služe kao ispomoć državnoj policiji.

      Law enforcement in Poland consists of the police force, independent judiciary, prosecutors (the highest of whom is the Public Prosecutor general), and smaller, specialized formations. 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 100.000 officers and ca. 25.000 civilian employees. Among the branches in the force are: Criminal Service, Traffic Police Service, Prevention Service and Supporting Service. Most towns and some villages have their own city guards, which supervise public order and road safety; however city guards have jurisdiction only over misdemeanors and in cases of crimes may serve only in a supportive role for the state police.
