Stosunek służbowy funkcjonariusza Policji Państwowej w perspektywie obowiązującego stanu prawnego – wybrane uwagi

Abstract

The maintenance of security and public peace is one of the most crucial duties of the state.
Potential prosperity of other spheres and competences of the state authorities depends on the level of
implementation of those duties. Therefore, this strong bond between security services and the state
causes the necessity to create just as strong bond between security services and people who ensure its
functioning. This bond is known as service relationship since State Police times. But it’s not possible
to thoughtlessly use this term for interwar period and current regulations without taking heed of
passage of time. The author of this article juxtaposes the legal situation of police officers now and
then, with the emphasis put on quantifiers determining the scope of service relationship, at the same
time recognizing the differences between aforementioned periods. Additionally he tries to present
reasons of mentioned discrepancy and expected changes.
