Each organizational structure is multilevel, and the smallest organizations must have more than one level. As a standard, three classic (basic) levels of management are discussed in theory, namely: management at the highest level, also called top management, supreme or main management; management at the middle level of organizational structure, also called middle level managers; and management at the lowest level of organizational structure, first level of management (supervisor), first level management. Every large organization, as are public sector organizations, to which the police organization belongs, generally have more employees than medium-sized organizations in the real sector, has more than three levels of management. The number of levels of management in public legal entities contributes to the high degree of centralization of the organizational structure, i.e. the development of the organizational structure in height. However, even in such organizations there is one highest level of management and one lowest level of management, while the number of middle levels of management increases, that is, in the organizational structure we are talking about higher middle levels and lower middle levels of management. Unlike the real sector, public sector organizations generally have several levels that are not only a product of the size of the organization and a larger number of employees, but also larger number of internal organizational units that are classified as a certain medium level of management. Organizational levels or leadership levels directly affect the number of managers in each organization. Therefore, each level of management determines the price of the product or service of each organization. Although the police are a non-profit organization that is not in the security services market, those who manage the police must use allocated budget optimally.
