March 2020 brought a major change in the functioning of public and economic spaces
both in Poland and around the world, triggered by the spread of the human communicable
disease COVID-19. Regrettably, though first perceived as temporary and
not particularly affecting society and the economy, it has become long-lasting and
led to a series of downright revolutionary changes. One such change was engaging
entrepreneurs licensed to provide personal and property security services in managing
the emerging public security threat. The COVID-19 crisis has necessitated the
participation of personal and property security personnel in efforts to prevent the
spread of the disease, primarily within protected premises. However, it appears that
there is a lack of legal basis enabling private security personnel in Poland to carry
out tasks in public security threat conditions, including during mass outbreaks of
human communicable diseases.
