CBZC "Disappears"? Police Join Forces to Create National Investigative Bureau
Published: 00:00 11/17/2025
Polska
The Chief Police Commander announced today a veritable revolution in the structure of Polish law enforcement. Two key units—the Central Police Investigation Bureau (CBŚP) and the Central Bureau for Combating Cybercrime (CBZC), which we know well—are set to be merged.
The result of this fusion will be the establishment of a brand new, powerful unit: the National Investigative Bureau (NBŚ).
Why the Change?
The official reason, according to the announcement, is the "changing criminal world". It's undeniable that organized crime is increasingly operating in cyberspace. The police also point to the need to counter new phenomena, such as diversionary actions and sabotage (more on this in the context of Operation Horizon), which have recently occurred in Poland on an "unprecedented scale".
The new National Investigative Bureau will take over the tasks of both merged units and will additionally focus on organized forms of corruption crimes.
Is Cybercrime Taking a Backseat?
Not necessarily. Although the CBZC is being absorbed into the NBŚ as an independent unit, the fight against cyber threats is expected to continue in a slightly different formula.
In parallel with the creation of the NBŚ, a new Bureau for Combating Cybercrime will be established within the Police Headquarters (KGP) itself. Similar cells are also set to be created in provincial police commands. This looks more like a regrouping of forces rather than abandoning the topic.
We are, therefore, witnessing a major reorganization. Will the merger of elite units and the creation of the NBŚ truly streamline the fight against cybercrime and sabotage? We will be watching closely.
