Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the history of transformation of the term profession and contemporary notions of profession development. It is shown how contemporary security affairs are performed by an increasing number of actors whose area of operation spans certain segments or the integral corp of security problems. Contemporary expanded comprehension of the security phenomena includes traditional security structures in security personnel, but also a series of university educated civillian security personnel. The process of professionalization of these affairs is accompanied by numerous difficulties. Traditional structures are considered as atypical professions because of low autonomy and scientific-theoretical knowledge foundations. New professions mostly satisfy former conditions, but are yet to form other notions of professionality – legitimacy of professional expertise, broader community recognition and acceptance, social responsibility codex formation and profession strengthening through professional associations.
