Summary/Abstract: Undercover police operations are used for the most serious crimes when the possibilities of other operational methods have been exhausted. The specifi city of this non-standard tactic of police operations is associated with many threats to the participating offi cers who work undercover. This study aims to examine the threats accompanying secret operations conducted in Poland and determine the extent to which the UCO’s experience infl uences the risk assessment and behaviour of policemen participating in such operations. Empirical research was conducted using a diagnostic survey method. The research results do not unequivocally confi rm the relationship between the experience of undercover policemen and risk estimation. However, they allow for inference about their behaviour during undercover operations
