Śląsko-Małopolski Border Guard Regional Unit

The Śląsko-Małopolski Border Guard Regional Unit is a government agency in Racibórz responsible for monitoring and controlling border sections with Czechia and Slovakia. It operates patrol vehicles, surveillance technology, and checkpoint systems across its territory.

The unit was established on July 1, 2013, replacing earlier border protection structures to strengthen regional security along international boundaries. It succeeded previous organizations based in Gliwice with a focus on both border sections in the southern region.

Personnel at the Border Guard Regional Unit receive specialized training in law enforcement, border control practices, and international cooperation protocols.

The unit is located on Dąbrowskiego Street and serves as the command center for monitoring both Czech and Slovak border sections. Visitors should note that access to this government facility is restricted and requires advance planning for any formal visits.

This command center manages both the Polish-Czech and Polish-Slovak borders from a single facility, an unusual arrangement that makes Racibórz a key strategic location. The dual-border responsibility means staff here coordinate operations across two distinct international boundaries simultaneously.
