AN ANALYSIS OF THE USE OF POLICE DOGS IN THE SLOVENIAN POLICE BETWEN 2003 IN 2013

V diplomskem delu, katerega naslov je Analiza uporabe službenih psov v slovenski policiji med letom 2003 in 2013, smo si pogledali in analizirali statistične podatke o uporabi službenih psov. Osrednje delo v diplomskem delu je analiziranje teh statističnih podatkov. Analizirani podatki nakazujejo, da se je v tem obdobju v Sloveniji službeni pes, kot prisilno sredstvo, uporabljal iz leta v leto drugače. Seveda je to popolnoma logično, saj se spreminjajo časi in posledično, kadar gre za premik v negativno smer, tudi potreba po uporabi različnih prisilnih sredstev. Največ službenih psov se je v tem desetletju uporabilo na območju PU Maribor. Razloga za to ne poznamo, so pa lahko različni. Vse od interveniranja na nogometnih tekmah pa do protestov, ki so se začeli v Mariboru. Pri samem pregledu poročil uporabe prisilnih sredstev pa smo tudi ugotovili, da pri interveniranju s službenimi psi nikoli ni prišlo do težjih telesnih poškodb ali celo do smrti oseb, zoper katere je bilo uporabljeno prisilno sredstvo. Med zbiranjem in prebiranjem razne literature pa smo prišli tudi do zaključka, da ne samo v Sloveniji, tudi drugod po svetu, imajo službeni psi veliko vlogo, kot pomočnik, pri razrešitvi določenih kaznivih dejanj, ulovitvi storilcev, najdbi prepovedanih drog, streliva, trupel, itd. Še enkrat lahko poudarimo, da so službeni psi res nepogrešljiv član v samih postopkih, saj s pomočjo njihovih možganov in smrčka, razkrijejo še tako zapletena skrivališča.In the diploma, with the title Analysis of the use of police dogs in the Slovenian police between 2003 and 2013, we summarized and analysed. Statistic information. The main part of diploma is the analysis those statistic information. Analysed information shows us, that in said period Slovenian police dogs, as coercive measures, are used in every year differently. Altough this is understandable, since the times have changed and showed a need for usage of different coercive measures. Moves can be seen on negative as well as the positive side. In PU Maribor police dogs are the most used coerce measures. We do not know the main reason, but it could be because of the football games or even protests that started in Maribor. While reading the report on usage of coercive measuers, one can see that during intervations where police dogs were used, there were no severe injuries or death. When reading the literatures we reached the conclusion that police dogs play a major role, not only in Slovenia, but around the world. They asist in the dismissal of criminal offenses, catching offenders, findings illegal drug, firearms, corpses, etc. Once again, we can emphasize, that police dogs are very important in casses, because with their capatilibities
