Police in the crisis management system during the Oder River mass fish die-off operations

Summary/Abstract: The crisis management and critical infrastructure protection system is one of the most important elements of state security. Since ensuring safety requires constant supervision, it is necessary to carry out such activities by public administration bodies and institutions properly prepared for actions in crisis situations. The effi cient operation of state authorities depends to a large extent on an experienced administrative apparatus, developed procedures, and involvement of relevant services, inspections and guards. In the Polish crisis management system, an important role is played by the voivode, who is responsible not only for the state of government administration, but also for actually ensuring safety in the voivodeship. One of the main entities supporting the voivode in these activities is the Police, which in addition to their basic tasks in the fi eld of ensuring public safety and order, have the strength and means to act in crisis situations caused, i.a., by a natural disaster or a technical failure.
