Poland
Index
After 1989 the state's role in maintaining law and
order
changed, as did the definition of internal threats to
national
security. In accordance with Poland's commitment to
representative democratic governance, the complex and
sinister
system of internal security organizations that had been
established to eliminate opposition to communist regimes
gave way
to an apolitical and professional police force. Like most
other
reforms of the transition period, practical changes came
slowly
because of resistance from incumbent officials.
Data as of October 1992
