Work of the slovenian police during the sars-cov-2 coronavirus epidemic

Varnost je zelo pomembna dobrina, ki jo moramo varovati. Poznamo različne institucije, ki varujejo našo varnost, kot so policija, vojska in zasebno-varnostne službe. Do sedaj smo bili vajeni, da našo varnost ogrožajo storilci kaznivih dejanj, naravne nesreče in druge grožnje, ki so nam znane. Problem pa nastopi, ko se pojavi nova oblika grožnje, ki nam je bila do sedaj neznana. To se je zgodilo pozimi 2019 na Kitajskem v mestu Vuhan. Pojavil se je novi koronavirus z imenom SARS-CoV-2. Virus se zelo hitro širi kapljično ali z dotikom površin, na katerih se SARS-CoV-2 nahaja. Povzroči bolezen z imenom COVID-19. Simptomi te bolezni so zelo podobni gripi. Ti simptomi so visoka temperatura, kašelj, kihanje in v težjih oblikah tudi težje dihanje. Najbolj ogrožena je starejša populacija ljudi, ki imajo kronična obolenja. Novi koronavirus je našo varnost ogrozil v takšni meri, da je Vlada Republike Slovenije razglasila epidemijo. V magistrskem delu smo skušali opisati delo slovenske policije v času epidemije SARS-CoV-2. To smo storili tako, da smo izvedli anketo na Postaji letališke policije Brnik, Policijski postaji Kranjska Gora in na policijskih postajah za izravnalne ukrepe Kranj, Koper, Ljubljana, Maribor, Nova Gorica in Murska Sobota. Na podlagi odgovorov smo ugotovili, da je bil za policiste v času epidemije največji izziv, da ostanejo zdravi in da okužbe ne prenesejo naprej na nekoga drugega. Kljub upoštevanju varnostnih ukrepov pri opravljanju svojega dela so se policisti počutili bolj ogroženo kot sicer. V sklopu magistrskega dela smo izvedli tudi anketo, prek katere smo preverjali zadovoljstvo Slovencev in Slovenk v času epidemije SARS-CoV-2. Ugotovitve ankete so pokazale, da je večina Slovencev in Slovenk zadovoljnih in da podpirajo policijo pri opravljanju svojega dela. Policisti so kljub novi in neznani grožnji opravljali svoje delo v času epidemije SARS-CoV-2 uspešno in učinkovito.Safety is a very important asset, which we must protect. We know various institutions, that protect our safety, such as the police, the army and private security firms. Up until now we were used to our safety being jeopardized by culprits, natural disasters and other threats that we are aware of. But when a new form of threat appears, it is problematic. Such a threat occured in the winter of 2019 in the Chinese city of Wuhan. A new kind of coronavirus named SARS-CoV-2 quickly started to spread. It spreads by droplets or by touching surfaces where the virus is located. The symptoms of the virus are very similar to those of the common flu, which are fever, coughing, sneezing and less commonly heavy breathing. The virus endangeres older people with chronic diseases the most. The coronavirus endangered our safety in such extent, that the government of the Republic of Slovenia pronounced an epidemic. In our master thesis we tried to describe the work of police in the time of the epidemic SARS-CoV-2. We did it by conducting interviews at the police stations in Brnik, Kranjska gora, Kranj, Koper, Ljubljana, Maribor, Nova Gorica and Murska Sobota. Based on the answers we got we can conclude that the police officer’s biggest challenge was to stay healthy and prevent the spread of the virus onto other people. Even with pursuance of the safety measures provided, the police officers felt more endangered as they were before the virus. As a part of our master thesis we also conducted a survey with which we checked the satisfaction of the Slovenian people in the time of the epidemic SARS-CoV-2. The survey’s answers showed, that most of the Slovenians are satisfied with the police and that they support their work. Despite the new and unknown threat of SARS-CoV-2, the Slovenian police did a great and effective job
