Abstract
The article presents the District Public Security Office (PUBP) [(from 1955 the District Office of Public Security (PUdsBP)] in Krosno, in the Rzeszów province. The first part presents the most important changes in the organisational-personnel structure of the Krosno PUBP and PUdsBP in the years 1945–1956. This part also encompasses tables listing names of officers along with their ranks and positions. The second part presents nine consecutive chiefs and heads of the Krosno UB unit. The third part demonstrates the main directions of operational and investigative actions implemented in the first decade of the existence of the People’s Republic of Poland (PRL). The author describes the operational work of the local UB, the scope of its surveillance, types of conducted operational matters, and the courses of some investigations. The collected statistical data depict changes in the number of units in the spy-intelligence ring, the dynamics of arrests and the categories of the pursued offences.
