Summary/Abstract: Along with the quoted opinions form legal theory and jurisprudence, this paper describes the evidence in the disciplinary proceedings against police officers in the Republic of Croatia. By emphasizing that a reported police officer always has to be given the opportunity to respond to all the evidence presented, the author describes in detail the reasons and consequences of the view that written statements of witnesses and transcripts of lawfully recorded conversations are considered valid evidence. The author concludes that in the case of suspicion in the existence of relevant facts, in favour of the reported officer, the principle in dubio pro reo should be applied.
