Wpływ Community Policing na bezpieczeństwo obywateli na przykładzie policji i straży gminnych
Impact of Community Policing on citizen safety on the example of Police and Municipal Guards

Summary/Abstract: Security is a fundamental aspect of public life and it is a key role of the police to ensure it. There is a number of concepts of police work that seek to achieve this goal. One of them is Community Policing, which assumes that uniformed officers should maintain close relations with local residents and gradually gain their trust, which will ultimately increase the cooperation of the general public with law enforcement. Police officers are actively supported in their work by municipal guards who, under Polish conditions, complement the community policing concept. The article presents the history of community policing, its main aims and methods of implementation in Poland, as well as suggested solutions and proposed improvements in this field. This is based on the results of research carried out in the city of Kraków on the effectiveness of the work of community officers and municipal guards, together with public opinion on the subject.
