Summary/Abstract: The police as a uniformed service is to carry out many public tasks related to ensuring human safety as well as maintaining public security and order. The range of values protected by the police is the reason why it is in the constant interest of social circles, and its actions are thoroughly analyzed and subjected to numerous evaluations. In a sense, social pressure combined with the nature and weight of the challenges undertaken by the police means that it must, in addition to daily efforts aimed at ensuring the security level, also react to the variability of the situation in which it has to operate. One of the reactions to this state of affairs is a possibility to make transformations not only in the forms and methods of activity but also smaller or bigger organizational changes. Changes are made at various levels of organization of this formation, starting from organizational units operating in the field, and ending with those existing at the central level. Recently, there has been a symptom of separating organizational units from the structure of the Police Headquarters and creating them as separate central structures. The study focuses on the changes that occur and analyzes them as a phenomenon referred to in theory as factual deconcentration. The research aims to answer the question whether the changes are incidental or are a permanent trend in the police force
