Abstract
The article shows the reorganisation of the People’s Republic of Poland security apparatus in 1956, using the example of Opole Voivodship. For many consecutive years, the executive of Security Service was dominated by the Public Security officers. Over time, the security apparatus has progressively expanded its staffing capabilities, moving towards the level from before November 1956, while at the same time drastically improving the level of education and professional qualifications of officers. As the result, reorganisation of security apparatus performed between 1956 and 1957 caused temporary weakening, later becoming even more dangerous and effective force in the service of the communist system.
