Public service interpreting in Poland is carried out by sworn translators and interpreters. In general it is professionals certified by the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Poland who appear at police stations to render interpreting services, although the Act on the Profession of Sworn Translator of November 25, 2004 provides for a possibility to call an interpreter from outside the official register. In light of a small number of scholarly studies concerning interpreting in police settings in Poland, this article aims at presenting the results of a survey conducted in two police stations in Warsaw which show that policemen frequently take advantage of the services provided by interpreters, pay attention to ethical principles obeyed by interpreters, as well as appreciate their collaboration with interpreters and consider it necessary.
