A more subservient National Police Chief?

Leszek Szreder, the new National Police Chief, assured that he was not planning any massive purge, but rather changes aimed at creating a team with whom he can work with. However, he added that the National Police Headquarters operated in a very archaic way and with outdated structures. "It requires modernization and needs to be slimmed," said Szreder. According to unofficial information, the National Police Headquarters will lose about 200 workers. Part of them would retire, while others would receive alternative jobs in local police forces across the country. It is already known for certain that police spokesman Sławomir Cisowski is to be sacked. According to Gazeta Wyborcza, he is accused of making statements with factual mistakes during the Starachowice scandal. Cisowski will be replaced by Dariusz Nowak, the current spokesman for the Małopolska police force. Despite the assurances of Szreder that sacking Adam Rapacki, the founding father of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBŚ), was not due to political reasons, Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) deputies are not hiding their delight.
