International Security Management in the Croatian Police: Presenting a Multi-faceted Approach

This chapter describes essential prerequisites for a comprehensive and integrated analysis of international security management in a modern police force. Using the Croatian police as an example, the relevance of education with a special focus on the mental resilience of the police force, the value of evidencing practices through sound research and effective data security management are addressed. The concept of police subculture and the functioning and organisation of the Croatian police are also presented for the purpose of providing the background for discussion. Finally, examples of some successful international research projects are presented.
