Poland critical infrastructure security legislation

Overview

The Polish government has proposed legislative amendments to strengthen the security of critical transportation infrastructure. Following sabotage incidents on the Warsaw-Lublin line, the draft law seeks to expand the authority of the Railway Security Guard (SOK) to counter modern threats, specifically targeting unmanned aerial vehicles.

Under the proposed regulations, SOK officers would be empowered to use specialized equipment to destroy, neutralize, or take control of drones that pose a threat to railway safety. The legislation also grants security personnel broader powers to conduct preventive checks of individuals and luggage, use direct coercion measures such as restraining nets and incapacitating sprays, and clarifies the circumstances under which firearms may be used to neutralize objects posing explosion risks.

To address concerns regarding hybrid threats to national infrastructure, the project emphasizes increased cooperation between the Railway Security Guard and other state services, including the Polish Armed Forces and the Internal Security Agency.
