Subcarpathian Police Management during the 2022 Armed Conflict in Ukraine

The war in Ukraine, which started on February 24, 2022, caused a serious refugee crisis on the south-eastern border of the European Union, mostly in Poland. The mass inflow of war refugees from Ukraine caused the emergence of new security threats and tasks for the police of the Subcarpathian Voivodeship. These were security challenges related to the need to ensure the safety of refugees, as well as threats to the security of Poland and the European Union. In addition, the Police carried out its statutory obligations to ensure order and security. The aim of the article is to analyze the elements of the developed and adopted management model for the implementation of the tasks of the Subcarpathian Police in the context of new risks and security threats resulting from the war in Ukraine in 2022, as well as the implementation of the statutory tasks of the Police in the field of maintaining public safety and order.
