Aim: The issue of public safety and functioning of the Police institution is taking on a special dimension at the moment as rules of market game pose new challenges for all institutions securing safety and are becoming blurred. As the notion of safety is fluid and blurred we need to consider tasks of all institutions securing this safety to serve the society. This area is currently of interest of not only to the world of practice but of science as well. It is reflected in strategic documents drawn up by various public institutions which have both a legal as well as statutory obligation to secure it. These documents indicate a high level of safety as the most important development goal. Although it a complex issue of multiple aspects perceived as a category shaping the quality of life in a specific social and economic space, it is also becoming a subject of deliberations, considerations and analysis developing forms and ways of securing it. The problem of available and efficient methods and forms used by public institutions allowing all citizens to feel safe is of particular importance. In this article is an attempt to prove that Sir Robert Peel's Principles (1788-1850 served twice as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, established Metropolitan Police Force), provide the basis to the idea of community policing. Design / Research: This work is a case study based on the innovation in the police in Poland. In this publication author uses analysis in sphere public safety, internal safety and in all safety system on local level. The article presents a research hypothesis that innovations concerning the functioning of the police in Lower Silesia will be based on the concept of community policing of Sir Robert Peel, thus increasing public safety in this region. Conclusions / findings: The police service securing safety is assuming special importance. The police are in charge of compliance with the law and building the rule of law. Initiatives taken by them to prevent and counteract crime are innovative from the organizational point of view and adequate to occurring threats. Over the recent years, local governments together with the police and inhabitants decide to take preventive measures where their role is to indicate threats, organize thematic meetings and present criminal prevention actions and their effects. Such a strategy allows them to take measures on many levels as neither strict laws nor the most effective actions of enforcement authorities will not manage to improve safety. Activity and cooperation between institutions regarding prevention and counteraction of crime are becoming an element of an everyday market game under these circumstances and the coalition solution implemented enhance useful values of the actions and first of all improve efficiency of all institutions for example through the information exchange. Effects of the work of the services are important as presented in the paper. Originality / value of the research: Innovation in the Police in Poland as factor stabilising public safety. Limitations of the research: This paper does address the problems of public safety in Poland on local level. (original abstract)
