NODUFF: Can someone explain the difference between the airport authorities in Poland, (Border Guard & Police), and how they equate or operate differently to the UK airport authorities, ie: Police officers, Immigration officers, Customs officers & Security officers.
Not much to say.
The Straz Graniczna wears two hats - they're responsible for border control, and in Polish airports, they're additionally responsible for security. They're a civilian organisation, despite appearances.
The Sluzba Celna is the Customs guys. There's a strict division between the two - not really seen in Polish airports, but on the Eastern border, the two uniformed services operate separately.
Police don't have a role in Polish airports to the best of my knowledge - the job is done by the Straz Graniczna.
