PREVENTIVE ACTION OF CRIMINAL POLICE AIMED AT CONTROLLING AND PREVENTING TERRORISM

Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses preventive action of the criminal police aimed at controlling and preventing terrorism. The preventive role of the criminal police in terms of preventing terrorism is realized through the following three types of activities: building positive relations between the police and citizens, police work focused on local community issues, and the application of crime control. The aim of this paper is to highlight both the contribution of implementing these activities to the prevention of terrorism and the extent to which the activities of uniformed police affect the quality of work of the criminal police. This paper presents the research conducted on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina with the aim to determine whether, in addition to the special police units tasked with fight against terrorism, the community police should also deal with the prevention, control, and suppression of terrorism, i.e. the identification of terrorist threats, as well as whether the police agencies in Bosnia and Herzegovina are adequately equipped and have all the necessary resources to combat radicalization and control terrorist threats.
