Summary/Abstract: The police, as the most numerous uniformed formation in the Republic of Poland (more than one hundred thousand officers) with a strictly hierarchized command structure, caring for internal order and legal order, have many competences in their field of activity, among others to enter into cooperation with external entities, including to cooperation with non-governmental organization). We refer to all subjects that are not entities or public administration bodies and whose activity is not aimed at achieving profit. A characteristic feature of non-governmental organizations is therefore the lack of connections with public authorities (this is often the name of non-governmental organizations). In Poland, this concept is defined by the Act on Public Benefit and Volunteer Work in 2003, which introduces an extended definition of non-governmental organizations as entities carrying out public benefit activities. The article aims are to familiarize the subjects related to the cooperation of the Police with non-governmental organizations in the implementation of statutory tasks, determining the place of NGOs in the system of ensuring security, as well as indicating the conclusions and possible recommendations from this cooperation.
