The Ministry of Public Security (Polish: Ministerstwo Bezpieczeństwa Publicznego, MBP) was a ministry and a secret police, security and intelligence agency of the Polish People's Republic during the Stalinist era, between 1944 and 1954. The ministry and its field offices were jointly commonly known as the Security Office (Urząd Bezpieczeństwa, UB).

The only minister was Stanisław Radkiewicz, remaining in office for 10 years.

Later replaced with the Ministry of Internal Affairs in 1954, and its Security Service in 1956.

First Secretary of PZPR

The First Secretary of the Central Committiee of the Polish United Workers' Party^[b] was the leader of the Polish United Workers' Party, the rulling communist party of the Polish People's Republic.

The office directly superseded the first secretary of the Polish Workers' Party, when it merged with the Polish Socialist Party on 22 December 1948. Initially established as the chairman of the Central Committiee of the Polish United Workers' Party,^[c] the post was renamed on 17 March 1954 and lasted untill the dissolution of the PZPR on 29 January 1990.

While First Secretaries may or may not have held official state posts, they are regarded as de facto country leaders during the period of communist rule in Poland.
