Human Resource Management in the Police : strategic legal basis of career development

Abstract

In the Ministry of Interior (police), instead of personnel management, human resource management is established. Hence the need for strategic treatment of human resources in the police as the most valuable and most expensive resource that requires long-term planning and management. An indispensable segment in the process of human resources management is the establishment and implementation of the career development of police officers based on equal opportunities, transparency of procedures and clear criteria for career advancement. This system should lead to an open and healthy competitiveness among police officers based on their competence and achieved results of work, which will ultimately result in the right people being in the right (working) places, as well as their commitment and motivation to work, specialize in their respective fields and in leadership positions. Career development links and integrates individual and organizational goals and interests, and as such contributes to the professionalisation of the police and the improvement of their quality and responsibility. Organizations predominantly realize their role in development of professional career through the human resources service. New content, new function and a new management modality in the police require a new management style, a new atmosphere and organizational culture, as well as different individual competencies of managers, human resources experts and all employees
