THE CONTEMPORARY DETERMINANTS OF FUNCTIONING OF THE SECURITY AGENCIES
Abstract
The article aims to show the selected challenges and pathologies that affect the private
security agencies in Poland. The author first indicates problems related to the legal
regulations concerning the protection of persons and property, the most important
of which concerns the amendment of the acts regulating the performance of some
professions; then he briefly defines the organizational problems of most companies
in the security sector, pointing out that the entrepreneurs in the private security sector
often have no idea how to develop their own companies, have great difficulties
with adapting to the changing market of the security services, do not keep up with
the innovations, which all lead to offering their customers the solutions that are already
outdated. This article also describes significant problems related to the market
trends, with the indication of the growing costs of the remuneration of employees in
this sector and the use of various forms of employment and the irregularities related
to it. Finally, some of the most important problems are listed as the pathologies of
the entire industry. This leads to the conclusion that the private security agencies in
Poland are an incredibly significant element of the functioning of the security system,
which without significant legislative changes will not fully function as intended and
in accordance with its function. The presented results prove that the research on the
functioning of the security agencies should be carried out on a continuous basis due
to their direct impact on the internal security of the country.
