At the central level, the Department for Fighting against Cybercrime has been established within the Criminal Service Bureau of the National Police Headquarters. The Division of Fighting against Cybercrime has also been established within the Central Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Police. Their main task is to combat cybercrimes committed by organised criminal groups.

At the level of the Prosecutor General's Office several prosecutors have been designated to provide coordination and support to lower tiers of the public prosecution service in cases involving cyber attacks (attacks against computer systems), hate crimes, and the sexual exploitation of children.

Those prosecutors closely cooperate with police officers, providing advice in the most complex cases.

Guides pratiques, modèles et meilleures pratiques

Mutual legal assistance in general (MLA, transfer of proceedings, transfer of the execution of sentence as well as extradition) is regulated by the Code of Criminal Procedure and its provisions are applicable according to the principle of subsidiarity - only if there is no international legal instrument or if the provisions of such instrument do not regulate specific issues. It results from the basic constitutional principle of the precedence of ratified conventions over national law, which is valid also for MLA in criminal matters. There are no specific provisions in Polish legislation on MLA for cybercrime, as general provisions on MLA are applicable.
