THETHE ROLE OF ETHICS IN THE MODERN POLICE IN THE REPUBLIC OF KOSOVO

Abstract

The explanations so far show us that the state is the bearer of security in any society. It realizes its function through legitimate powers, which its executive bodies possess and are authorized to protect public and legal order. These high-security standards arise from normative rules, namely, laws and the constitution. Without violence, the state is obliged that every individual provides basic rights and freedoms that agree with the postulates and human civilization. In order that the individual to be able to realize these rights, their behavior should be in line with regulatory rules in the center of which lies the requirement of inviolability in the security segment. So, if we want to build a legal and democratic state, its institutions must be bearers of state dynamics as well as of change, development, and simultaneously, bearers of control over government and pressures towards it. The police as a law enforcement organ without doubt must respect the code of ethics, because without a meaningful collaboration between police and community, and without respect for the code of ethics, the police would not have civic trust, thing that would affect the citizens’ insecurity and the state in general.
