The subject of this research was to investigate the preventive role of police officers in preventing radicalization. The police and police officers are one of the key factors in preventing radicalization, however, this fight, especially in the preventive sense, has a greater chance of success if citizens, or the local community itself, are involved in it. Through police work in the community, aimed at establishing partnerships between the police and the community, as well as other state bodies in order to proactively solve problems, a very good and long-lasting contribution to broader strategic efforts to prevent radicalization can be made. What has been shown by the good practices of European countries and what is the indispensable path to follow if one wants to achieve efficiency in the fight against radicalization is the following fact.
