Abstract
The article addresses the issue of the reorganisation of the territorial structures of the political police following the shift in party and state authorities in December 1970. The new minister of Internal Affairs, General Franciszek Szlachcic, initiated on March 1971 the foundation of the Commission for the Facilitation of Work Organisation in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. One of its tasks comprised an analysis of the work structure and organisation of the units of the Security Service (SB), in particular on the district level, treated as the basic organisational-executive cell of the security apparatus with regard to tasks resulting from protection of the system of the People’s Republic of Poland (PRL). The article discusses the stages of the analytical and research works and consultations connected with the preparation of action scopes, regulations and organisational structure and personnel of district and provincial SB units. One of the discussed topics concerned consultations regarding the proposed names for reorganised SB units. Moreover, it describes the analytical works conducted in SB units of the Kraków province. The result of the programme, completed in May 1973, was the „Report regarding streamlining of the organisational structure of the units of the ministry of internal affairs”. Nonetheless, the proposed solutions were not implemented, with one of the reasons resting in the decision of the top-level party-state management concerned with the administrative reform of the state. The appendices to the article include, among other things, proposals regarding the organisational and personnel structure of SB KP MO (Security Office, Provincial Civic Militia Headquarters), organisational regulations of SB KW MO, and the register of full-time job positions within the district and provincial Security Service.
