The explanations so far show us that the state is the bearer of security in any society. It realizes its function through legitimate powers, which its executive bodies possess and are authorized to protect public and legal order. These high-security standards arise from normative rules, namely, laws and the constitution. Without violence, the state is obliged that every individual provides basic rights and freedoms that agree with the postulates and human civilization. In order that the individual to be able to realize these rights, their behavior should be in line with regulatory rules in the center of which lies the requirement of inviolability in the security segment. So, if we want to build a legal and democratic state, its institutions must be bearers of state dynamics as well as of change, development, and simultaneously, bearers of control over government and pressures towards it. The police as a law enforcement organ without doubt must respect the code of ethics, because without a meaningful collaboration between police and community, and without respect for the code of ethics, the police would not have civic trust, thing that would affect the citizens' insecurity and the state in general.

This article examines which ethical features can be found in the police's more economically oriented management tactics, as well as the extent to which ethical considerations are factored into police decision-making processes. In this approach, the article builds on the author's previous work, which focused on a police resource's risk assessment. The goal of this research is to answer the scientific question of whether harmful police trends could have been detected sooner. In this context, it's worth noting that the police force and its members are under a lot of moral and ethical criticism from a population that's becoming increasingly critical across borders. The author concludes that every police officer's moral compass can really provide a foundation for police activity, based on a literature study and a secondary quantitative content analysis. It is demonstrated that, in terms of duty ethics, ethical features are heavily reliant on role models. However, such role models are not always available. Supervisors, on the other hand, do not always live up to their responsibility as role models. Professional ethics are being implemented and strengthened in the training of young police recruits, which is positive. It is intended that ethical considerations would become more prevalent in the police force.

In accordance with the importance of the police action in the reformed criminal procedural legislation of Serbia and its contribution to achieving the key objectives of criminal procedural legislation, it is necessary to make a correlation between the legal framework (legality) and the other side of legitimacy significant for the police as one of the main subjects of the preliminary investigation or preliminary proceedings at the European level. Accordingly, it is necessary to determine the key determinants of achieving the legitimacy of the police, so the authors of this study will analyze this issue through the following groups of questions: Firstly, the police and the implementation of international standards as a determinant of legitimacy (Introduction); Secondly, the legal norm as a factor in the efficiency of police action and achieving legitimacy; Thirdly, the legitimacy of the police in Europe (statistics and the position of the Republic of Serbia); Fourthly, concluding observations, which should contribute the full and more efficient realization of de facto manifestations of legality in police proceedings. Modern ideology of the police action in the criminal matters often raises the questions of equivalence between legality and legitimacy, the degree of consistency and the significance of the realization of de facto manifestations of legality for the sake of reaching the key value
