Abstract
In 2022, a new police service, namely, the crime-fighting service, was created. The Central Cybercrime Bureau was also established as an organizational unit of the police, which is responsible for recognizing and combating crimes committed using IT systems, ICT systems, or ICT networks and preventing such crimes, as well as detecting and prosecuting their perpetrators. The aim of this paper is to assess the validity of separating the cyber police in the structure of the Polish Police and to analyze its place and role in the cyber security system. Subjects under consideration include the tasks and powers of the new service, problems related to the selection of qualified officers with specialized IT knowledge, and the problem of providing infrastructure enabling the effective implementation of the entrusted tasks. The research methods used in the paper are the dogmatic-legal method and the theoretical-legal method.
