The role, significance and development of prevention as a part of police work based on the project "Public safety"

V sodobni demokratični družbi se vloga policije v skladu z zahtevami policijskega dela ves čas prilagaja in spreminja. Glede na to, da je cilj slovenske policije bil, da se povzdignejo na nivo sodobne evropske policije, se mora slovenska policija ves čas skozi razvoj soočati s potrebo po ustreznem načrtovanju, spreminjanju in vrednotenju načinov preventive kot segmenta policijskega dela. Zagotavljanje varnosti ljudi in premoženja je temeljno poslanstvo policijskega dela, ki se lahko uresničuje samo skupaj z ljudmi, med katerimi in za katere policija deluje. Takšno delovanje se imenuje »v skupnost usmerjeno policijsko delo«, ki pomeni novo filozofijo dela policije, ki daje večji poudarek sodelovanju s skupnostjo oziroma lokalnim nivojem, v katerem deluje. V takšnem policijskem delu ima še vedno najvidnejše mesto vodja policijskega okoliša. V diplomskem delu želimo prikazati, da se je slovenska policija reorganizirala po vzoru nekaterih zahodnih držav, saj se je z vpogledom v teoretična spoznanja ter primerjalno analizo praktičnih izkušenj drugih držav izoblikoval projekt »javna varnost« kateri je pustil pomemben pečat pomenu preventive in njeni zamisli v praksi. Izvajanje projektov s katerimi se opravi reorganizacija običajno povzroči prilaganje policijske organizacije spreminjajočemu se okolju, zato je potrebno sprožiti proces približevanja na lokalnem nivoju sistematično in spremembe prilagoditi miselnosti in načinu dela. Cilj diplomskega dela je predstaviti (re)organizacijo policijskih postaj, začenši od projekta »javne varnosti« do projekta v skupnost usmerjenega policijskega dela, ki se je izoblikoval z novo strategijo dela policije, pri čemer se bomo osredotočili predvsem na določitev policijskih okolišev, vključno s spremembo funkcije vodje policijskega okoliša in na tej podlagi prikazali analizo preventivnega dela petletnega obdobja (2013-2017) na Policijski upravi Murska Sobota.The role of the police in a modern democratic society always adapts and changes in accordance with the requirements of police work. According to the goal of the Slovenian Police to be raised to the level of the modern European police, the Slovenian police must constantly be, through the development, confronted with the need for appropriate planning, changing and evaluating of prevention methods as a part of police work. Ensuring the safety of people and property is a fundamental mission of police work that can only be realized together with people. The police work among people and for people. This action is called "police work directed towards community", which represents a new philosophy of police work and it places greater emphasis on cooperation with the community or the local environment in which it operates. The role of the head of the police district is still the most important in that kind of police work. In the thesis, we want to show that the Slovenian police reorganized after the example of some Western countries. The project "public security" has been created with an insight into theoretical knowledge and a comparative analysis of the practical experience of other countries. It has made a great impact on the importance of prevention and its ideas in practice. Implementation of projects that carry out the reorganization usually causes the police organization to adapt to a changing environment, so it is necessary to initiate the process of getting closer to the local level systematically and to adjust the changes in the mentality and the way of work. The aim of the thesis is to present the (re)organization of police stations, starting from the project "Public Security" to the project in community-oriented police work, which was developed with a new strategy of police work, focusing primarily on identifying police districts, including changing the function of the head of the police district and on this basis we are going to present the analysis of the preventive work in the five-year period (2013-2017) at the Murska Sobota Police Directorate
