STRAŻ GRANICZNA W POLSKIM SYSTEMIE PRZECIWDZIAŁANIA TERRORYZMOWI

The Polish Border Guard (PBG) is uniformed armed forces responsible for the protection of state borders. The PBG is primarily associated by Polish society with border control at border crossing points or with activities against illegal migration. It should be noted, however, that the Border Guard, together with other state institutions responsible for maintaining security in the country, contribute to the counter-terrorism system. PBG officers work together with the Counter-Terrorism Centre at the Internal Security Agency. In addition, within the context of the implementation of statutory tasks, for instance in the area of counteracting terrorism, PBG officers have a direct impact on the level of state security.
