Abstract
As societies grow older, the importance of state policies covering the problems of older people increases. Among a number of issues relating to the safety of this age group, a significant problem is the personal safety of its representatives related to threats of actions to the detriment of the elderly. The statutory duty related to public safety points to the Police as the formation in whose area of activity is the safety of citizens, including seniors. As a law enforcement agency, the police not only fight crime, but also prevent it by carrying out preventive measures. In Poland, all police territorial units carry out such activities. The aim of the article is to show the directions of social policy of the Polish state in the area of personal safety of the elderly and to indicate the special role of the police formation in preventing crimes against this group. In the practical, applied dimension, the indication of good practices in this area is aimed at familiarizing interested institutions and people with preventive activities conducted by the Police in Poland. In the research process, the analysis of available projects and prevention programs concerning the safety of the elderly in Poland and the literature on the subject were used.
