Authorities and tasks of security guards in the prevention and detection of criminal offenses

Zasebno varnostne družbe ponujajo varnostne storitve številnim uporabnikom in naročnikom na mnogih področjih, ki zahtevajo dodatno varnost, ki jo država s svojimi organi ne nudi. Med številne naročnike zasebno varnostnih storitev uvrščamo trgovske družbe, ki želijo zaščititi ugled svojih trgovin in dodatno zavarovati premoženje in osebe v prodajalnah. Varnostniki imajo na voljo številne ukrepe in druga sredstva ter pomoč tehničnih sredstev za varovanje teh prodajaln. Pomembno vlogo pri preprečevanju in odkrivanju kaznivih dejanj ima tudi policija, ki ima funkcijo preiskovanja teh dejanj. V diplomski nalogi smo skušali opredeliti, kako pomembno je delo varnostnikov in policistov za samo prevencijo ter kakšni so postopki ob odkritju tatvin majhne vrednosti. Ob tem smo želeli opredeliti ali je njihovo delo ne/ovrednoteno, saj je večina ovadb s strani tožilstva zavrženih. V diplomski nalogi opišemo tudi ureditev zasebnega varovanja v Republiki Sloveniji, ukrepe in druga sredstva varnostnikov ter storilce tatvin. Ponudimo tudi možne rešitve in predloge za reševanje problematike bagatelne kriminalitete v samopostrežnih in podobnih trgovinah.Private security companies offer security services to many users on different areas, that require additional security, that country and its authorities don’t provide.
