THE NEED FOR COOPERATION AND COORDINATION OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECURITY IN PANDEMIC CONDITIONS CAUSED BY COVID-19

Summary/Abstract: Cooperation and coordination poise serious challenges for the security sector in a certain country and the key issue that is raised is not the question “Whether cooperation is obtained?” which certainly is an important question, it is rather the question “What kind of cooperation and coordination is needed?” The analysis of the coordination of the police and the private security sector, especially during health emergencies, respectively is a complex and heavy task, since it features great difficulty and specifics. Therefore, the research on the internal coordination mechanism of the security sector should be primarily based on its complete comprehension and differentiation from the other management functions, in order to avoid improvisation and partialism of any kind, especially having in mind that a high degree of coordination and cooperation are of great benefit for the work of the security actors which in specific circumstances are not simple and are unpredictable. Hence, the idea in this paper is to indicate the need for cooperation and coordination of the security sector, and especially the role of the police and of the private security in coping with the challenges imposed by the health crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic in terms of proper, accountable and legitimate action, as well as working under specific health protocols.
