This paper presents a short history of Polish formations protecting the governing bodies
of the state, starting from the moment Poland regained independence at the end
of the twentieth century. The considerations are presented against the rules and principles
of the functioning of the state security system, with particular emphasis on the control
subsystem. This paper demonstrates the need to research attitudes to safety in the past,
in order to develop and apply effective contemporary solutions. The considerations
contained in it also concern the existing threats to the management of state organs.
They may contribute to further discussions on the purpose and rules of operation
of the formation which is supposed to protect the most important people in the state.
