The Need to Train Local Government Administration in Ensuring Public Order and Security

Abstract

In accordance with the legal regulations in Poland, local government administration is obliged to share responsibility for ensuring public order and security. However, the law does not take into account an appropriate system of preparation of the local government administration which emerges from democratic elections, to implement the statutory obligations to ensure this security. Due to the above, the role of the Police Academy in Szczytno in the support of local authorities in the implementation of tasks in the field of ensuring security and public order remains extremely important. The scope of this support should concern, among other things, the organisation of course trainings, the development of methodologies, instructions and training courses for the e-learning method, and other materials in the field of subject security, and to support local authorities in organising conferences and seminars. The above proposals to support local government administration by the Police Academy in Szczytno would result in the use of uniform forms and principles of training, and would allow for the coordination of this training at the level of municipalities and counties. The above would allow for more effective integration of all elements of the internal security system in the area of security and public order, would improve the organisation of cooperation and coordination of activities, and thus would consistently improve the efficiency of operations.
