Abstract
The article is about training of the privates and non-commissioned officers of Citizens’ Militia (MO) between 1945–1954. Their knowledge and professional skills were a key of their effectiveness in combating crime and keeping the public order. Also their ideological formation leading to devotion and loyalty to the “people’s power”. In order to provide a basic training for the officers, a training was carried at the individual MO units and at the Voivodeship Committees a Training Course for Citizens’ Militia Privates was introduced, lastly a Central School was created – Training Centre for Citizens’ Militia in Słupsk. In 1954 a reform of militia’s education has begun. From 15th October 1954, a Training Centre in Słupsk was liquidated and Training Centre of Militia Citizen Officers in Szczytno and Officers School in Piła were appointed. All of the other Voivodeship related training courses were replaced by Training Centre for Privates in Słupsk. Earlier, in 1950, a Training course for police dogs was moved from Słupsk to Sułkowice, joining a School for guide and service dogs with department of training of Staff Dogs of Internal Security Corps (KBW). This new model of training in Citizens’ Militia introduced between 1954–1957, with little changes has survived in its state until the end of MO’s activity.
