n the face of the emerging new threats related to the development of civilisation, organised crime groups are becoming increasingly active at various levels of social life. The intensifi ed activity of organised crime groups affects the citizens' sense of security, and therefore appropriate measures are taken to detect, combat and counteract such threats. The article indicates the basic tasks of the Police in relation to individual areas of activity of organised crime groups, and shows the role of the Central Police Investigation Bureau as a law enforcement agency in combatting organised crime.

Organised crime, in view of its nature, is very dangerous, and its extensive structure not only in Poland, but all over the world causes a great threat to ordinary people. In Poland, the main service established to fight crime, including organised crime, is the police. The fight against organised crime (of an economic, drug, criminal, terrorism-related nature, including
cross-border crime) is handled by the police organisational unit set up in 2000 - the Central Bureau of Investigation. The purpose of the article is to present the police as a competent service in the fi eld of recognising, combatting and preventing organised crime.

Education is one of the basic ways of shaping security. Its level depends on values, attitudes and messages, people's awareness as well as the skills necessary to prevent and deal with threats. Information activities in the field of counteracting threats should be supported by properly prepared education, especially for children and young people, which plays a special role in shaping safe behaviors and attitudes. Education for security of young people in Poland is an important and comprehensive undertaking involving state authorities, relevant services, organizations and the whole society. There is a conviction that only permanent and broad-based activities involving the whole society can bring the expected results, and thus raise the level of citizens' awareness of security.

In the literature on the subject, suicide is considered as a specific social phenomenon - one of the deviant behaviors, which is also an indicator of social disintegration. Due to the fact that the effects of suicide are social, suicide is classified as a social pathology, referred to as a social disease. Objective: To indicate that suicide is an important social problem with an increasing trend. Hypothesis: Adolescence is a period when there is a significant risk of committing suicide. Methods: The study used the method of analysis and system of professional literature, the monographic and descriptive method and the analysis of statistical data. Conclusions: The analysis and synthesis of source materials allows us to conclude that there are few fatal suicide attempts among children under 12 years of age. It is different in the case of young people aged 13-18, who already have a sense of their own mortality. Adolescents become capable of intellectually assimilating the physiological, metaphysical, and also biological aspects of death. Implications for theory and practice: Therefore, suicidal behavior, which is rare among children and in early adolescence, is becoming more common among adolescents. In addition, the occurrence of suicidal thoughts before puberty correlates with later suicide attempts, in adolescents (more often than in adults) there are repeated suicide attempts. Originality and value: The article attempts to systematize the determinants of suicidal behavior among young people and to present a suicide attempt as a personal and social problem in the category of threats.
