Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the cooperation between the probation service and the Police, as one of the institutions whose scope of activity is included in the tasks of both institutions. The proper implementation of the tasks assigned to probation officers requires the support from other institutions.

The quality of this cooperation, the effective flow of information and the consolidation of activities determines measurable effects with regard to the probation officer’s charges. This text refers to general legal provisions defining the scope of Police activity in this area, as well as the analyzed detailed agreements developed in the course of cooperation.
