Abstract

The police activities and professionalism are closely related to the staff administration and development policy. This is especially relevant for the police institutions in Central Europe, which are in the process of changing their activities to becoming service for the citizens instead of prosecution set as a priority. The conversion of police organization strategy also influences the criteria of staff selection process, motivation of employees and career possibilities, social security as well as on relationship between policemen and managers. So in general it would be about human resources planning in the police structures.
After having compared the staff selection and training processes in the police structures of Lithuania and Poland it could be stated that:
1. Poland has an effective staff selection system based on functional strategy, where number of police staff can be predicted (there are trained as many policeman and police officers as there are vacancies).
2. In the police system of Poland the distribution and development functions are well coordinated, i.e. training constitutes career opportunities.
3. The system of social security and working conditions is based on strong trade union in the police organization, which makes great impact on the instantaneous requirements.
