Summary/Abstract: An important element of the local government model in Poland is undoubtedly the city guard functioning since the beginning of its restitution in Poland. The anniversary of the restoration of local government in Poland this year is an opportunity for many summaries and to draw conclusions for the future. While in the case of discussions on the functioning of local government in Poland, there is no search for voices that would say about an attempt to withdraw from local government reform, the postulate of liquidating municipal guards from the Polish public security system is increasingly appearing in public discussion. However, when discussing the legitimacy of the functioning of city guards, it is worth relying on source material, which clearly and clearly depicts the scope of its activities and thus illustrates its role in the public security system at the local level. The purpose of this study is primarily to characterize the activities of the individual in the years indicated, which prove the legitimacy of its existence in the provincial city, which is Poznań.
