The National Police Headquarters (Polish: Komenda Główna Policji, KGP) is a central authority of law enforcement in Poland. Its goal is to provide public security and order. It is run by Chief of Police, who is a subordinate to the Polish Minister of Internal Affairs.
The headquarters are located at ul. Puławska 148/150 in Warsaw. The building was raised in the Socialist realism style circa 1955. It was designed by Jerzy Beill and originally housed the Ministry of Internal Affairs.[1] The building is H-shaped, referring to modern palace architecture. The entrance portico features lotus columns.
