Starting from the perception of the phenomenon’s evolution in its essence, of course, all the rules and relationships that govern this complex task, are perfectibile for the purposes of their adaptation to the current criminal trends in the field. This research paper was meant to be primarily a cumulation of knowledge of the European realities in the field, then as a means of identification of national and international rules, pursuing the underlining of shortcomings and the making of concrete proposals for streamlining the work of the judicial police, proposals for the improvement of the legal, institutional and procedural framework, all on international level but also on European level. The police, needed in any state, cannot, however, ignore and even more, neglect democracy. Indeed, the organization and functioning of the police, was and still is one of the fundamental problems on which depends the democratic or totalitarian character of a state. No matter how ideal would be the governing of the police, its activities mostly depend on the professionalism and fairness of its officials. It is a truth that stems from the evolution of the law and science of administration that the public services do not worth anything if its officials are not proficient, trained and loyal to its functioning. Regarding the police, the main body of internal order in a state, there has always been a state of confusion and a hateful mentality. Even today it is claimed that the police are meant to protect the Government’s political partisans and to persecute their opponents, which is an outdated concept. The police needs to ensure the satisfaction of all citizens and the natural progress towards democracy in Romania, both in the present, but with greater strength in the future. Freed from the pressure or political influences, the Romanian police must obey only the law and the truth, enjoying at the same time an enhanced dignity. On the status of the Romanian policeman (rights, obligations and liabilities) depends whether we live or we will live in a state of disarray or of tranquility. In other words, the way in which the police is organized and operates reveals whether our society is virtuous or full of vice and immorality. In the increasingly dynamic rhythm of the present-day life, dominated more and more by the turmoil of the national, social, political and economic unrest, and at the same time, in the context of the recrudescence of crimes of all sorts, police duties are amplified and become increasingly more difficult. In all that he undertakes in order to practice his profession or in his social life, the policeman must know that he has no other judge than the law and the community in whose service he is bound.
