Police

Police is an administrative center in West Pomeranian Voivodeship situated on the western side of the Oder River estuary. The town provides essential urban services including schools, shops, and facilities that serve both the local population and the surrounding villages.

The town was founded in the 13th century and grew over centuries under different rulers including the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Prussia, and Germany. This shifting history shaped how the place is organized and what you see when walking through it today.

The town comes alive through regular gatherings and celebrations where residents connect with one another and share their local roots. These occasions show how different groups in the community live together and pass down their customs to newer generations.

The town has public transportation links to nearby cities and offers basic services like shops and medical care spread throughout the area. Most important locations are within walking distance or easily reached by local buses.

The local economy relies heavily on industrial plants, especially shipbuilding and chemical production that have operated in the region for decades. While these factories are not open to visitors, they shape the daily rhythm and landscape of the place.
