Summary/Abstract: Service in a special unit of the Police is extremely tedious, both in physical and mental terms, with very high expectations for their policemen. It cannot arise only from official duties, but – above all – specific lifestyle, which should be the primary stimulus for taking them. It is confirmed by research conducted among policemen-antiterrorists, relating to their motivation in taking service in anti-terrorist subunit of the Police. Studies have also shown that such service is not fully in line with the expectations of the officers, and their priorities change over its course. A lot of factors have impact on it, negatively affecting the attitude of policemen, which were revealed in the study. The results can be used to create such conditions of service, which will reduce or eliminate loss of idealistic motives for taking service in the special unit of the Police.
