The aim of this article is to analyze the process of establishing ordinance regulations in Polish municipalities and their role as a tool to protect local security. The article points to the essence of local security, and distinguishes and characterizes the individual levels of implementation, by local authorities, of tasks in the field of local security protection (crisis management, tasks implemented in emergency states, and tasks carried out under the standard operation of local government bodies). Against this background the verification of the statutory and subjective scope of establishing ordinance regulations in municipalities, the reasons for establishment of these provisions, and the principles legitimizing the process of their adoption were established. In order to undertake the research outlined above, the current normative acts and literature on the subject were reviewed, allowing for critical analysis. In turn, the synthesis of collected research material made it possible to form conclusions and final remarks.
