Police with almost 40 thousand
residents is a versatile town, which, until recently,
has only been associated with its large chemical
plant. However, the extensive industrial development
has not disturbed the balance within the natural
environment and this year Police received the
prestigious “Polish Ecology Leader" title in the
urban and rural municipalities subcategory. Participating
in ecological competitions has become a tradition
for Police, which has been confirmed by numerous
awards and honorable mentions that the town has
won. Already in the 6th edition of the “Polish
Ecology Leader" 2001-2002, the Municipality of
Police was awarded an honorable mention for their
comprehensive projects in the field of environmental
protection. The continuation of activities aimed
at sustainable development and the protection
of natural resources has resulted in Police winning
the prominent title in the 10th edition of the
competition which was held under the patronage
of Lech Kaczyński, President of the Republic of
Poland. This esteemed prize has been awarded since
1997 by the Ministry of Environment to honor those
who contribute to improving the condition of the
environment in Poland and the quality of life
of the country's inhabitants.

The Program Board of the competition appreciated
Police's innovative and modern technological solutions,
as well as the educational activities aimed at
sustainable development within the municipality.
Winning the “Polish Ecology Leader" title confirms
the local authorities' involvement in the implementation
of ecologically, economically and socially effective
projects in the field of environmental management.
These have included a series of noteworthy infrastructural
investments that enhance the municipality's development,
protect the environment and improve the living
conditions of the local population. The systematic
and successful implementation of these important
pro-ecological projects has led to discernible
effects in the management of municipal waste,
water supply, wastewater disposal and the town's
green areas.

The “Polish Ecology Leader" title is the second
prestigious award won by the Municipality of Police
in 2007. Earlier this year, in June, the town
was declared “The Most Ecological Municipality
of 2004-2006" in a competition organized by the
Marshal of the Zachodniopomorskie Province and
the Provincial Fund for Environmental Protection
and Water Management. Being a two-times winner
of ecological competitions proves that the local
authorities were right to make the sustainable
and modern management of the environment a top
priority, especially that the implementation of
innovative technological solutions that ensure
high environmental protection standards has also
made the town more attractive to investors. In
August this year, Infrapark Police SA signed an
agreement with the Portuguese PRIO. The investor
bought 8 hectares of land, on which they will
build a plant which will process rape seed and
soy bean oil for the fuel industry.
The Infrapark Company manages the Police Industrial
Park. It was established in 2004 with the aim
of providing favorable investment conditions and
access to innovation. The offer of Infrapark Police
includes land sale and lease on preferential terms,
and supplying media at lower than free market
prices as well as providing easy access to information
about investment areas and their technical conditions.
The Police Industrial Park is a real estate complex
covering a total area of 137 hectares. It comprises
13 basic areas that can be joined or divided,
according to the investors' requirements. Over
10 hectares of the Park holds the status of a
sub-zone of the Kostrzyn-Słubice Special Economic
Zone. The grounds within the Park are provided
with utilities and have direct access to roads
and railway lines, as well as to a sea and river
port. The stakeholders of Infrapark are Zakłady
Chemiczne “POLICE" SA (POLICE Chemical Plant),
the Municipality of Police, the University of
Szczecin and the West Pomeranian Regional Development
Agency. The signing of a notary deed with such
a large investor as the Portuguese PRIO allows
the management of Infrapark to hope that they
will attract more such investors. It should be
stressed that Infrapark has been very successful
in applying for EU developmental funds which enable
systematic improvements in the investment sites
and their effective management.
