Expanded powers for security services during threats

The act expands the powers of the military, police, and border guard to use force and weapons during security threats. It introduces new rules for service cooperation and legal and financial protection for officers acting in difficult situations.
Key points
The military can now conduct operations on Polish territory in peacetime during threats to the border, critical infrastructure, or public safety – using weapons and direct coercion measures.
Police can be deployed to assist the Border Guard when forces are insufficient, with border guard powers.
Soldiers, police officers, and border guards receive free legal assistance and full pay even after suspension or arrest – if they acted using force or weapons.
Services can now transmit certain decisions orally, by phone, or electronically – with subsequent written confirmation.
Legal protection introduced: an officer or soldier who violated weapon use rules during a direct attack on life, health, or the border does not commit a crime – if immediate circumstances required it.
