SOME REASONS THAT MAKE OPERATIONAL WORK DIFFICULT FOR AUTHORIZED PERSONAL OF THE OFFICIAL REPRESSION BODIES

Summary/Abstract: This article outlines some of the technical-tactical, forensic and legal reasons that may hamper or impede law enforcement and criminal justice officials in the performance of their official duties. This primarily refers to police officers, prosecutors and judges. The ability of law enforcement and criminal justice professionals to perform their field activities, acting within or outside the normal scope of their professional duties and responsibilities, primarily depends on the circumstances of the criminal event which is the object of their interest. The author places emphasis on reasons related to criminalistic and forensic aspects of their performance, rather than legal ones. Even though the work performed by police officers and criminal justice officials at first glance seems deceptively simple, it actually resembles a walk down the interwoven paths of an incredibly intricate labyrinth “paved” with numerous dilemmas, questions, different procedures, objective or subjective obstacles etc. This paper makes the full scope of their professional duties directly visible. It sets out the significance of cognitive abilities and the crucial role of anticipation, description, explanation, etc. The author of the article looks at the specific cognitive aspect deemed essential to the work of law enforcement officers and officials.
