Abstract

Povijesnim razvojem uloge policije mijenjala se i percepcija građana o njoj. Tako je policija od isključivo represivne sile postala sredstvom zaštite i integrirani dio društvene zajednice. Sada je za optimalno djelovanje policije važna podrška zajednice stoga se javlja potreba za izgradnjom dugoročno održivog odnosa policije i društva. Taj će odnos karakterizirati transparentnost i demokratičnost, ali i sustav zajedničkih vrijednosti. Djelovanje prema pretpostavkama vladavine prava i uvažavanje temeljnih ljudskih prava će reducirati defekte policijskog djelovanja te će se omogućiti efikasno odgovaranje na potrebe zajednice. Pri tome će istaknutu ulogu imati mehanizmi nadzora nad radom policije koji će unaprijediti ideju građanstva i pridonijeti stvaranju osjećaja javne sigurnosti. Također, mehanizmi nadzora kao civilni alat u borbi za prava pojedinaca će pokazati kako ljudska potreba za sigurnošću ostaje jedan od najvažnijih zahtjeva društava svijeta. U tome svemu, svoj će doprinos imati reforma policijskih zakona, razumijevanje policijskih ovlasti i edukacija zajednice o mogućnostima utjecaja.

Abstract (english)

The citizens' perception of the police has changed significantly throughout history. Nowadays, the police have stopped being a repressive force and soon became a means of protection and an integrated part of the social community. Thus, community support is a key for optimal policing, and therefore is needed for building a long-term sustainable relationship between the police and society. This relationship is going to be demonstrated by transparency and democracy being built upon a system of common values. The defects of policing will be reduced by the respect for the rule of law and the human rights uphold enabling the effective response to the community needs. Accordingly, the mechanisms of supervising police operation will advance the idea of citizenship and will contribute to the creation of the public security sense. Moreover, the mechanism of supervising police operations being an effective civilian tool in the fight for the individual's rights will reflect on the human need for security as one of the most important demands of the world's societies. To conclude, the police law reform along with the well-informed community that understands its influence will provide the continuous efficiency of the police.
