Summary/Abstract: The dynamics of changes in the sphere of threats to public security causes that the activities undertaken by entities responsible for the prevention and counteraction of the effects of their occurrence must be constantly verified and streamlined. Public security tasks are carried out, among others, by special services, the Police, Border Guard, Customs Service and the Government Protection Bureau. The indicated entities must consistently and effectively implement the tasks imposed on them. It is necessary, therefore, to involve forces and resources (personal and material) to the extent that is adequate to potential threats. The above is limited by the possibilities resulting from existing personal and material potential. Particularly important from the point of view of effectiveness in the implementation of tasks is the personal potential of each from the services listed above. Thanks to people who carry out tasks in the field of security protection, their special features, commitment, right attitudes and behavior the potential threats can be successfully counteracted. Activities in the field of protection of the most important authorities and public administration are carried out by the Government Protection Bureau. Professional adaptation in this service is the engagement of an officer into professional practice. The beginning of the adaptation process is the stage of recruitment, during which the candidate for the officer gets acquainted with the requirements of the formation and confronts them with his/her own professional expectations. As part of the professional adaptation process, the officer is subjected to a training process and then verification of knowledge and skills. Professional adaptation serves to create a posture in the officer and behavior consistent with the organizational culture of the formation.
