KOMPARATIVNI PRIKAZ PROAKTIVNIH MODELA RADA POLICIJE
COMPARATIVE OVERVIEW OF PROACTIVE POLICING MODELS

Summary/Abstract: There are several different models of police work, each with specific approaches, goals, and methodologies. These models evolve and adapt according to the needs of society, the challenges posed by contemporary forms of crime, and technological innovations. The traditional (reactive) model remains the basic approach, but an increasing number of police agencies are adopting proactive models to more effectively address contemporary challenges in the area of preventing and detecting criminal activities. These new models respond to the more complex challenges of modern society and emphasize the importance of crime prevention, the use of technology, cooperation with citizens, as well as inter-agency cooperation. The aim of this paper is, based on an analysis of contemporary professional literature, to present the most important and most frequently used models of police work over the past decades and to analyze their basic characteristics. The obtained insights can serve as guidelines for improving police action and further reforms of the police system in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and indicate the importance of preventive activities carried out by the police.
