Changes in Use of Force and Military Operations at Polish Border
This bill aims to simplify regulations on the use of firearms by uniformed services (Police, Border Guard, Polish Army) in defending the state border. The changes are intended to provide greater clarity regarding the powers of officers and soldiers, and to specify the rules for conducting military operations in peacetime within Poland. Citizens may experience an increased sense of security due to clearer rules for the actions of border services.
Key points
Police and Border Guard will be able to use firearms in defense of the inviolability of the state border, without additional conditions regarding threats to life or health.
Soldiers will gain broader powers to use weapons to repel direct attacks on the border.
Uniformed services will not be obliged to provide first aid to an injured person after using a firearm if it would involve crossing the state border.
Military operations in peacetime within Poland will only be possible in strictly defined situations: threats to the border, critical infrastructure, human safety, or property, when immediate action is required.
