Police is an organization mainly identified as the authority responsible for public order and safety. Providing the country with the appropriate level of security requires a new look at the role of the authorities, including the police, involved in security matters. New, so far non-existing threats result from human dependence upon scientific and technological achievements. Efficient sectors such as energy, fuel, transportation, telecommunications, finance, health care, or any other sector ensuring continuity of public administration bodies, make our lives easier but at the same time pose a great threat to public order and safety. Additional threats result from interdependencies among elements of particular sectors, which we remain unaware of. The provision of relevant protective measures and identification of tasks assigned to the authorities involved in security pose a challenge not only to services and guards, but also to enterprises and public administration bodies involved in the development of regulations related to critical infrastructure protection as well as those which introduce regulations, guidelines or procedures.
