Abstract
The text is dedicated to the issue of training of officers of the Ministry of Public Security at public universities in Poland and abroad between 1944 and 1990. In the first years ministry has suffered from a serious shortages of educated staff. These gaps tried to be filled with additional training of the current staff and through attracting potential students using scholarships, obligating them at the same time to service for a specified period. Practically until 1960 a maturity exam wasn’t a requirement in order to be promoted to the officers rank. By the end of 1960, officers has been redirected to do a part time studies at the Vocational Professional Administration Collage, firstly organised at the University in Warsaw, Kraków, Poznań and Wrocław (in 1970 in UMCS branch in Rzeszów and University of Gdańsk). The rise of the level of education of society meant that only those with higher education could get an officers rank. Introduced in 1972 three yearlong departmental schools were meant to provide a stable number of educated officers. However it turned out that they only provided the half of staff needed. In this case a try to get recruit people with higher education was made, as well as sending current officers to the civilian universities. They were also sent to postgraduates courses which allowed them to get an officers promotion. Also a lack of possibility of awarding a PhD title and the lack of the right to confer habilitation caused Ministry of Internal Affairs to send their lecturers to a friendly ministry schools (Ministry of Internal Affairs, KGB) in Moscow or to a civilian or military universities in Poland.
