Ewa Jurczyk-Romanowska}, language={eng}, abstract={The article is an attempt to show that apart from the regular functions of the police, such as the preventive function and the repressive function, a new function – an educational one - is dynamically developing. Social, and political, changes in Poland after 1989, resulted in a revision of the police formation, the key elements ofwhich were the changes in the image of the police officer in the social perception, and the expectations that the police would redefine its mission in the spirit of Community Policing, to be involved in proactive activities in the local environment. The article describes the legal basis for the development of the educational activity of police officers, and it also reveals the organizational and mental obstacles that hinder this activity. Recommendations for practice are presented in the final part of the study, and they may provide guidelines on how to effectively shape the pedagogical culture ofpolice officers.}, type={tekst}, title={Educational function of the police.
