  ## History
  
  Sports club Klub Sportowy (KS) Chemik Police created its women's volleyball department in 1989. Two years later, in 1991, the club made its debut in the League 1, the highest division in Poland. It was relegated at the end of the 1991–92 season, but in the following season it won the Polish Cup and promotion to the Liga 1 before (due to sponsorship) changing its name to ARS Komfort in July 1993. In its second spell at League 1, the club had immediate success, winning the Polish Championships and the Polish Cup for two consecutive seasons (1993–94 and 1994–95). In that same period the club finished third at the 1993–94 CEV Cup Winners Cup. In October 1994, the club was renamed KS Chemik Police after losing its main sponsor and with financial issues in the following seasons, the club was relegated in 1998.
  
  After years playing in the lower leagues under the name Polickie Stowarzyszenie Pilki Siatkowej (PSPS) Chemik Police, a large industrial local chemical plant called Zakłady Chemiczne Police S.A. (a subsidiary of Grupa Azoty) which for long had a strategic partnership with the club, decided to invest in the club.
  
  In 2013 the club was promoted to the Orlen Liga and was renamed Klub Piłki Siatkowej (KPS) Chemik Police. Since then the club won four Polish Championships (2013–14, 2014–15, 2015–16, 2016–17), three the Polish Cups (2013–14, 2015–16, 2016–17), two Polish Super Cups (2014, 2015) and finished fourth in the 2014–15 CEV Women's Champions League.
