Summary/Abstract: A permanent problem facing modern society concernes the provision of public order and peace and security of people, as well as their movable and immovable property. This especially reflects the situation in local communities and local self-government units (municipalities, cities), since local communities, constitutionally and statutory, are closest to the citizens themselves. The situation at the level of local communities and local self-governments is, of course, reflected at the level of the state. Modern social movements, as well as modern security challenges, do not have a growing need to identify, search for and find adequate tools, methods, instruments, or various measures aimed at ensuring public order and a higher level of security of citizens and their property. The best and most effective measures are those aimed at cooperation of police bodies and officials with local self-government units (municipalities and cities) and local communities, ie cooperation with the citizens themselves. Citizens are those whose interests and preferences should come first and whose personal and property security should be in connection with the work on the implementation of measures that will enable better cooperation between citizens and police authorities. The basic research is that mutual continuous and constructive cooperation of the police with the local community contributes to raising the level of security of citizens, as this affects the awareness of citizens on the place and role of the police, which ultimately results in reducing the number of crimes and greater security of citizens. For the purposes of the research, all basic methods were used, and for the purposes of obtaining data, the methods of analysis (content) of documents were used.
