Marshal’s Guard as a militarized service. Origins of the formation and selected legal aspects

Summary/Abstract: In the article the issue of the Marshal’s Guard is discussed. Despite a long tradition, the Guard only gained the attribute of a militarized service based on the provisions of the Act of 26 January 2018 on the Marshal’s Guard. The legal character of the formations performing the functions of today’s Marshal’s Guard varied over the years. Initially, they were units formed from military troops, which is why they had rather been military than militarized. Until 2001, the regulations regarding this formation were of non-statutory nature and were contained in the Sejm’s regulations, the statute of the Senate, and above all in the Organizational Regulations and decrees of the Marshal of the Sejm and the Chief of the Chancellery. After 2001 — although the provisions regarding the Marshal’s Guard were included in the official pragmatics (the act on the Government Protection Bureau, the act on the State Protection Service), the guards did not have the status of an officer, but remained employees of the Sejm Chancellery, to whom provisions of the Act of 16 September 1982 on employees of state offices applied.
