In the wake of Starachowice is the police now being politicized?

Following the dismissal of the National Police Deputy Chief Commanders, Interior Minister Krzysztof Janik announced plans to continue with further changes within the National Police personnel structures. This announcement is by many understood as also changes which will relate to the highest positions in the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBŚ). "They want their own people, so that they will have somebody thankful for the promotion and will execute all their instructions," said one CBŚ officer from the north of the country. According to unofficial information, the current head of CBŚ, General Kazimierz Szwajcowski, is also to be sacked. He will be given a proposition to become the Katowice Voivodship Police Commander. The new National Police Chief, Leszek Szreder, also announced plans to introduce three-year terms of offices for top National Police jobs. According to unofficial information a proposition has also been made to subordinate some parts of the structures of CBŚ under the National Police. (Rzeczpospolita, pp. A1, A3) A.K.
