Police County

Police County is an administrative district in West Pomeranian Voivodeship along the Polish-German border and comprises four municipalities with different characteristics. The area is defined by forests, the Oder River along its eastern edge, and connections to the Baltic Sea in the north.

The district was created in 1999 during Poland's major administrative reforms and brought four municipalities under a new territorial structure. This reorganization was part of a nationwide process to modernize regional governance.

The Old Town of Police displays architecture from different periods and draws visitors interested in local heritage. Green spaces like the Swidwie Nature Reserve shape daily rhythms and offer places for recreation.

The district spreads across four municipalities with Police serving as the administrative hub and main entry point for visitors. The flat terrain and road network make it straightforward to navigate and move between different areas.

The area hosts an important birdwatching zone in the Swidwie Nature Reserve that attracts migratory birds along their flight routes. These reserves draw nature observers and photographers, especially during spring and autumn periods.
