Bars Down

While in 2009. to retire decided to 7.6 thousand. police officers, firefighters and the Border Guard, already in 2013. figure has dropped to 6.7 thousand. But the real revolution took place last year, when retired decided to go only 3.8 thousand. officers. With the largest decrease occurred in the State Fire Service and the Border Guard. In 2014.

Less training

On the basis of current regulations uniforms for each year of added extra 1 percent. internship, but only until they reach 20 years of service. In subsequent years, the increase is 0.5 percent. for each additional year, but not more than 25 percent. Such a system is not an incentive. Uniforms went away so the service when their salary osiągało maximum height. As a result, the average length of service is currently in police – 28 years 11 months, the State Fire Service – 27 years 9 months, and the Border Guard 25 years 8 months.
