Analysis of Polish Police Activity in the Aspect of Security in Railway Areas

Published: 2026-03-31

Abstract

This publication provides a comprehensive overview of Polish Police activities regarding railway safety from 2016 to 2023.
Railways play a strategic role in the national and European economy, remaining one of the most efficient modes of freight and passenger transport. However, ensuring an optimal level of security in railway areas—which are particularly vulnerable to mass-scale
threats—remains a major challenge. Currently, there is no state-run uniformed service specializing in the protection of railway areas (premises) and trains in Poland; therefore, the Police play the most important role in this regard. The author presents data on the number of crimes and their detection rates, as well as the value of losses incurred in railway areas resulting from criminal acts. Attention is also drawn to the need to take appropriate measures aimed at improving the security of transport and railway areas (premises) in response to growing public demand.
