Namen prispevka: Namen prispevka je pregledati in oceniti stanje zasebnega varovanja, strokovno usposobljenost zasebnovarnostnega osebja ter sodelovanje s policijo po prehodnem petletnem obdobju od sprejetja Zakona o zasebnem varovanju leta 2011 do marca leta 2016. Metode: V prvem delu smo uporabili deskriptivno metodo. Na podlagi izbrane domače literature in zakonodaje je bila uporabljena metoda analize in interpretacije vsebine pisnih in internetnih virov. Drugi del prispevka zaokrožuje empirična metoda. Izdelana je bila spletna anketa, ki so jo izpolnili varnostni menedžerji zasebnih varnostnih družb. Zbrani podatki so bili analizirani z uporabo programov za kvantitativno analizo (SPSS in Microsoft Excel). Ugotovitve: Večinsko mnenje oseb, odgovornih za zakonitost, strokovnost in učinkovitost storitev varovanja, je, da je regulativa na področju zasebnega varovanja ustrezna. Pogrešajo predvsem večji pomen tehničnega varovanja, konstruktivni nadzor s strani Inšpektorata RS za notranje zadeve, sodelovanje s predstavniki policije, teoretično in praktično kakovostnejša usposabljanja, strokovne monografije in posledično dvig kakovosti storitev zasebnega varovanja ter s tem ugled dela zasebnega varnostnika v družbi. Omejitve/uporabnost raziskave Zaradi načina zbiranja podatkov in vzorca izraža raziskava problematiko zasebnega varovanja skozi oči varnostnih menedžerjev. Ugotovitev zaradi manjšega vzorca ni mogoče posploševati in so namenjene predvsem strokovni javnosti, ki si prizadeva za izboljšanje zasebnega varovanja. Praktična uporabnost: Izsledki članka nam poleg vpogleda v značilnosti obravnavane tematike ponujajo podlago za nadaljnje raziskovanje, hkrati pa nakazujejo možne rešitve obravnavanega problema na ravni države. Izvirnost/pomembnost prispevka: Po pregledu obstoječe literature menimo, da prispevek tovrstno problematiko obravnava med prvimi. Purpose: The aim of the paper has been to review and assess the status of private security in Slovenia, professional qualifications of private security personnel, and the cooperation between the police and private security personnel after a transitional period of five years from the adoption of the Private Security Act of 2011. Design/Methods/Approach: In the first part the author applies a set of interpretative descriptive methods to analyse the selected literature and the existing domestic legislation. The second part is devoted to the empirical (quantitative) analysis. For the purposes of this paper, we designed an online survey intended for security managers. The link to the survey was sent to numerous Slovenian privates security companies. The acquired survey data was then analysed using selected quantitative analysis software (SPSS and Excel). Findings: The majority of security managers see existing regulation in the field of private security as appropriate. However, they do miss more emphasis on technical protection, constructive supervision by the Inspectorate of the Ministry of Interior, cooperation with representatives of the police, theoretical and practical quality training and professional monographs. All of the above would in their opinion help raise the quality of private security services, as well as the overall reputation of the occupation of private security guards in the Slovenian society. Research Limitations / Implications: Given the data collection methods, as well as the survey sample, our findings are mainly a reflection of the issue of private security as perceived by security managers. Due to the small sample, generalizations are not possible. The findings should prove useful primarily for professionals, who aim to improve the state of Slovenian private security industry. Practical Implications: In addition to yielding several important insight into the covered issue, the results of the paper also provide a basis for further research, and serve as a stepping-stone in devising future state-wide solutions to the addressed problems. Originality/Value: Via the review of the existing literature we have not found any similar paper, and thus believe that the paper is among the first to deal with such issues.

V magistrskem diplomskem delu je obravnavano vprašanje širjenja polja zakonitosti uporabe fizične sile. Pregledani so nekateri filozofski pogledi na povezavo med silo in pravom. Razpravlja se o tesni povezanosti držav z uporabo sile in sprašuje o legitimnosti državne oblasti. V delu je nakazano nasprotje med osebno svobodo in silo. Sledi analiza ustavnih in zakonskih določb, ki urejajo situacije, v katerih je dopustno uporabiti silo. Na kratko so obravnavana vprašanja uporabe sile v horizontalnih pravnih razmerjih, zlasti pri samopomoči in silobranu. Podrobneje so preučena pooblastila za uporabo sile, ki so poverjena državnim in lokalnim organom ter nekaterim zasebnim organizacijam, zlasti tistim, ki se ukvarjajo z zasebnim varovanjem. Na področju občinskega redarstva in policije so izbrane določbe in pravni instituti zgodovinsko primerjani, z namenom, da se ugotovi, ali se polje zakonitosti pri uporabi sile širi. Predstavljeni so slovenski primeri pred ESČP, ki so povezani z uporabo sile. The theme of the thesis is the question of expansion of legality of the use of (physical) force in Slovenia. Some philosophical views on the relation between force and law are reviewed, followed by a discussion on the close connection of state with the use of force, while questioning the legitimacy of states in general. The conflict between personal liberty and the use of force is analysed to some extent followed by a more rigorous review and analysis of constitutional and statutory provisions that regard the use of force. Briefly, the question on the use of force in horizontal legal relationships is discussed, especially regarding the legal institutes of self-help and self-defence. The authorizations of the use of force, given to certain state and local authorities and some private security organisations, are thoroughly reviewed and studied. Selected legal provisions and legal institutes are historically compared, especially those regarding the police and municipal wardenship. The purpose of the comparison is to identify the movements of the field of legality of the use of force. Select Slovenian cases in front of the ECHR regarding the use of force are analysed.

18. dnevov varstvoslovja, nacionalne konference s področja varnosti, se letos udeležuje prek 200 znanstvenikov in strokovnjakov iz državnih institucij, gospodarstva, lokalnih skupnosti in civilne družbe. Na konferenci s prispevki sodeluje več kot sto govorcev. V zborniku so zbrani napovedniki osmih okroglih miz, povzetki prispevkov v enajstih tematskih sekcijah in predstavitve posterjev študentov doktorskega študija na Fakulteti za varnostne vede Univerze v Mariboru. Prispevki odpirajo obsežen nabor vprašanj nacionalnovarnostnega sistema, kazenskega pravosodja in drugih področij varstvoslovnega raziskovanja. V program in zbornik 18. dnevov varstvoslovja smo poleg tradicionalnih vsebinskih sklopov uvrstili nekatere teme, ki so se v zadnjem obdobju pokazale kot posebej aktualne: vzroki, posledice in pristopi k reševanju migracijske problematike, odprta vprašanja sodelovanja Republike Slovenije v mednarodnih mirovnih operacijah, dileme in izzivi pri vzpostavljanju službe za probacijo ter aktualna vprašanja in izzivi policijskega dela v skupnosti, kriminalističnoobveščevalne dejavnosti, zasebnega varovanja in detektivske dejavnosti. In June 2017, the 18th Days of criminal justice and security, the national conference in the field of security, will host over two hundred scientists and experts from governmental institutions, the business sphere, local communities, and civil society. Papers will be presented by over a hundred speakers. The conference proceedings include abstracts of eight round tables, eleven thematic sections, and poster presentations by doctoral students at the Faculty of Criminal Justice and Security, University of Maribor. Papers address a wide range of issues relating to the national security system, criminal justice, and other areas of safety and security. In addition to traditional criminal justice topics, the program includes some that have recently become particularly relevant: causes, consequences and approaches to migration issues pressing issues about the participation of the Republic of Slovenia in international peacekeeping operations dilemmas and challenges in developing probation services as well as current issues and challenges of community policing, criminal intelligence, private security, and detective work.

Nagle tehnološke spremembe in s tem povezana globalizacija, intenzivna prepletanja različnih kultur in vrednot, nove oblike groženj tako doma kot v tujini, vse to spreminja naš pogled na varnost in s tem na načine zagotavljanja le te. Prilagajanje takšnim faktorjem je nujno, saj le na tak način lahko zagotovimo ustrezno delovanje družbe in posameznikov v njej. Kako je v Republiki Sloveniji normativno in dejansko urejeno varovanje upravnih organov, in kateri subjekti so tisti, ki so v prvi vrsti odgovorni za zagotavljanje varnosti le tem, je osrednje vprašanje tega diplomskega dela. Skozi delo je tako predstavljena ureditev sistema varovanja upravnih organov v Republiki Sloveniji v mirnodobnem času, in sicer na konkretnem primeru Ministrstva za delo, družino, socialne zadeve in enake možnosti, katerega varnost, v smislu varovanja ljudi in premoženja, zagotavlja zasebno varnostna družba v sodelovanju s policijo. Opredeljena in primerjana so upravičenja tako varnostnikov kot policistov, predstavljena je primerjava njihove usposobljenosti in opisano tudi njihovo medsebojno sodelovanje pri opravljanju nalog varovanja. Rapid technological changes, globalization related to them, intense intermingling of different cultures and values, new forms of threats both at home and abroad, all that changes our view of safety and ways of ensuring safety. Adjusting to such factors is essential, since it is the only way to ensure suitable operation of society and individuals in society. The manner in which the normative and actual protection of administrative bodies is regulated, and which entities are the ones who are primarily responsible for providing security, is the central question of this diploma paper. The paper thus presents a regulation of the system of protection provided for the administrative bodies in the Republic of Slovenia in peacetime, in a particular case, the Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities, whose safety in terms of protecting people and property is provided by a private security company in cooperation with the police. The diploma paper identifies and compares entitlements of both the security guards and the police officers, presents a comparison of their qualifications and also describes their mutual cooperation in carrying out the security tasks.

Namen magistrske naloge je, da z analizo občinskih programov varnosti vseh treh občin v Zasavju, analizo podatkov kaznivih dejanj in drugih virov ogrožanja ter intervjujev z občinskimi svetniki na območju Zasavja, definiramo potrebe po pluralni policijski dejavnosti v statistični regiji Zasavje. V teoretičnem delu magistrske naloge smo z deskriptivno metodo ter analizo domače in tuje literature opisali pojme in dejstva pluralne policijske dejavnosti ter predstavili zgodovinsko in geografsko ozadje vseh treh občin v Zasavju. V drugem, empiričnem delu, je poudarek bolj na analitičnem pristopu, kjer smo z zbiranjem, primerjavo in obdelavo podatkov iz javnih virov, uradnih evidenc, zakonov, strokovne literature, spletnih strani in intervjujev z občinskimi svetniki iz občin Hrastnik, Trbovlje in Zagorja ob Savi, definirali potrebe po pluralni policijski dejavnosti v Zasavju. Ugotovili smo, da občinski svetniki v Zasavju niso v celoti seznanjeni s konceptom pluralne policijske dejavnosti, ter da je socialno stanje v Zasavju zaskrbljujoče, kar predstavlja pereč varnostni problem. Naša najpomembnejša in ključna ugotovitev te magistrske naloge je, da v Zasavju obstajajo potrebe po pluralni policijski dejavnosti. The purpose of the master's thesis is to determine the needs for plural policing in the statistical region of Zasavje through analysis of municipal programmes of all three of Zasavje's municipalities and analysis of criminal activity and other causes of threatening security along with interviews with local councilors in the area of Zasavje. In the theoretical part of the thesis we have, using the descriptive method and analysing domestic as well as foreign literature, described concepts and facts of plural policing and presented the geographical together with historical background of all three municipalities in Zasavje. In the second, empirical part, the focus was on analytical approach, which helped us to determine the needs for plural policing in Zasavje through collecting, comparing and processing data from public sources, official records, expert literature, websites and interviews with local councilors from municipalities of Hrastnik, Trbovlje and Zagorje ob Savi. We came to a conclusion that local councilors in Zasavje are not entirely familiar with the concept of plural policing and that the social situation in Zasavje is worrisome, which in itself is a topical security isseue. The most important and vital finding of this master's thesis is that in Zasavje needs for plural policing do exist.

Varnost je temeljna vrednota vsakega posameznika in temeljna človekova pravica. Država zagotavlja varnost državljanom s svojim varnostnim sistemom, kjer imata osrednje mesto policija in kazensko pravosodje. Državna organa formalnega nadzora stremita k učinkovitemu zagotavljanju varnosti državljanov, kar se kaže v omejevanju kriminala, vzdrževanju reda v državi, pripravljenosti pomagati državljanom, občutku varnosti državljanov, njihovem prostovoljnem upoštevanju zakonov in pripravljenosti ubogati ter zaupati v policijo in kazensko pravosodje. Od zaposlenih v policiji in pravosodju se pričakuje, da delujejo v okviru zakona, enakopravno, pošteno, pravično, dostojanstveno ter spoštujejo temeljne človekove pravice in svoboščine posameznika. S takšnim delovanjem delujejo legitimno ter si pridobijo zaupanje in sodelovanje javnosti. Javnost je tista, ki nepristransko izraža mnenja o delovanju policije in kazenskega pravosodja. Poleg policije in kazenskega pravosodja imamo še drugo skupino družbenih nadzorovalcev – zasebne varnostnike, ki prav tako skrbijo za varnost državljanov. Zasebni varnostniki prihajajo v stik s policijo in kazenskim pravosodjem preko delovnih stikov v procesu obveščanja in sodelovanja, zato imajo drugačna stališča o legitimnosti policije in pravosodja. V diplomskem delu smo raziskovali percepcijo zasebnih varnostnikov glede legitimnosti policije in kazenskega pravosodja, ki jo zaznavajo na podlagi pravičnosti in nepristranskosti, avtoritete in učinkovitosti. Zaznavanje legitimnosti policije in pravosodja pri zasebnih varnostnikih se kaže v zaupanju in sodelovanju z organoma. Security is the basic value of every individual and a fundamental human right. The state provides security to the citizens trough its security system which is based on the police and the criminal justice system. The two state regulated bodies strive towards an effective assurance of security, which is demonstrated with crime prevention, maintaining order in the state, readiness to help the public and the public’s sense of security, its adherence to the law and its trust towards the police and the criminal justice system. Police and criminal justice system employees are expected to work in accordance with the law - equally, fair, with dignity and with respect towards basic human and civil rights. This is how they function legitimately and gain respect of the public, as well as its cooperation. The public is the one who impartially expresses the opinion about the police and the criminal justice system. In addition to the two state regulated bodies, we have a second public surveillance group - private security officers, who also provide citizens with security. Security officers come into contact with the police and the criminal justice system in a different way than the public, which results in them having different opinions about their legitimacy. The two groups come into contact trough the working process of informing and cooperation. In this thesis we researched how security officers perceive the police and the criminal justice system’s legitimacy on the basis of their fairness and impartiality, authority and effectiveness. This perception is indicated in the trust and the cooperation between both groups.

Varnost človeka in premoženja postaja vse bolj cenjena, saj predstavlja vrednoto. Država v okviru nacionalnovarnostnega sistema pa je odgovorna za zagotavljanje varnosti. Pomembno vprašanje zasebnega varovanja predstavlja njegova legitimnost. Država organizira in predpisuje organiziranje subjektov zasebnega varstva ter uravnava in ureja področja zasebnega varstva. Razvoj zasebnega varovanja, kot gospodarske in varnostne dejavnosti v Sloveniji v zadnjih dveh desetletjih močno pridobiva na pomenu. Prenos nekaterih pooblastil in del s policije na zasebno varnostna podjetja in občinsko redarstvo dodatno poudarja pomen sodelovanja med navedenimi institucijami. Cilj diplomskega dela je predstavitev različnih institucija varovanja, njihovo delovanje in sodelovanje, kar bi pomembno vplivajo na uspešnost izvajanja storitev varovanja in dvignilo ugled zasebno varnostne dejavnosti. Raziskava bo usmerjana v analiziranje dejavnosti zasebnega varstva z vidika drugih organov ter primerjavo funkcij zasebno varnostnih podjetij ter policije, občinskega redarstva in detektivske dejavnosti. Sodelovanje med navedenimi institucijami ima pomembno vlogo pri zagotavljanju varnosti in izboljšanju družbeno socialnega položaja varnostnikov v Sloveniji. Rezultati so pokazali, da se največ sodelovanja pojavlja med policijo in zasebno varnostnimi podjetji. Ostale institucije med seboj manj sodelujejo in s strani občinskega redarstva po dodatnih oblikah sodelovanja tudi ni izraženih potreb. Ugotovitve raziskave predstavljajo osnovo razprave, pri čemer so glavne ugotovitve in predlogi sprememb usmerjeni v izboljšanje sodelovanja med institucijami, ki zagotavljajo varnost ljudi in premoženja ter slab družbeno socialni položaj varnostnikov, kot posledica nizke izobrazbene strukture, nizkih plač, slabe usposobljenosti varnostnikov v preteklosti. Izsledki raziskave lahko pripomorejo k razvoju in izboljšanju kakovosti ponujenih storitev zasebno varnostnih podjetij ter njihovemu sodelovanju z drugimi institucijami. The safety of people and property is becoming increasingly appreciated as it constitutes a value. The state in the context of the national security system is responsible for ensuring safety. An important issue in the field of private security is its legitimacy. The state organizes and prescribes the organization of the subjects of private security and regulates and organizes the field of private security. The development of private security as an economic and security activity in Slovenia in the last two decades has been rapidly acquiring significance. The transfer of certain authorizations and activities from the police to private security companies and traffic wardens additionally stresses the importance of cooperation between the specified institutions. The aim of my thesis is to present the various security institutions, their activities and cooperation, which would have a significant impact on the success of the implementation of the security services and raise the reputation of private security activities. The research will focus on the analysis of activities of private security from the perspective of other bodies and on the comparison of the functions of private security companies and the police, traffic wardens and detective agencies. Cooperation between the institutions plays an important role in ensuring safety and improving the social standing of security guards in Slovenia. The results indicate that the largest amount of cooperation occurs between the police and private security companies. The other institutions cooperate less frequently with each other, and the traffic wardens have not expressed the need for additional forms of cooperation. The research findings represent the basis of discussion, with the main findings and propositions aimed at improving cooperation between the institutions which ensure the safety of people and property, and a low social standing of security guards as a result of low educational attainment, low wages and low qualifications of security guards in the past. The results of the research can contribute to the development and improvement of the quality of services offered by private security companies and their cooperation with other institutions.

Varnost je bistvena človekova dobrina, ki je pogoj za brezskrbno življenje in neovirano zadovoljevanje ostalih človeških potreb. Skrb za splošno varnost prevzemata policija, kot nosilec javne varnosti in zasebno varnostne družbe, kot nosilci zasebne varnosti. Bistvena razlika je v tem, da je javna varnost za posameznika brezplačna, zasebno varovanje pa je plačljivo. Za javno varnost skrbijo policisti in policistke, ki pri svojem delu, za izvajanje nalog policije, uporabljajo policijska pooblastila. Za zasebno varnost skrbijo zasebne varnostne družbe, znotraj katerih izvaja naloge zasebnega varovanja zasebno varnostno osebje, ki pri svojem delu uporablja ukrepe varnostnika in druga sredstva. Namen magistrskega dela je proučiti mnenje varnostnikov o osebnih lastnostih policistov, njihovega odnosa do strank v postopku in do varnostnikov ter razlike v mnenjih na podlagi starosti varnostnikov. Prav tako je namen raziskati, ali imajo policisti drugačen odnos do varnostnikov, ko so ti v službi in privatnem življenju. Cilj magistrskega dela je ugotoviti, ali varnostniki menijo, da imajo policisti pozitivne osebnostne lastnosti in kakšni so njihovi odnosi do strank v postopku in do varnostnikov. Naslednja cilja sta ugotoviti, ali se stališča varnostnikov do policistov spreminjajo glede na njihovo starost in ali imajo policisti drugačen odnos do varnostnikov, ko so ti v službi in privatnem življenju. V teoretičnem poglavju magistrskega dela smo uvodoma zbrali in preučili tematsko literaturo, v empiričnem poglavju pa smo, na podlagi analize mnenja varnostnikov, prišli do rezultatov raziskave, da imajo po mnenju varnostnikov policisti pozitivne osebnostne lastnosti in dober odnos do strank v postopku. Imajo pa bistveno boljši odnos do varnostnikov, ko so ti v službi, kot v zasebnem življenju. Mnenje varnostnikov o odnosu policistov do strank v postopku se razlikuje glede na starost varnostnikov. Starejši kot so, boljše mnenje imajo. Security is an essential human resource, which is a condition for a carefree life and unobstructed meet other human needs. For the general safety we assume the police, as the holder of public safety and private security companies, as the holder of private security. The essential difference lies in the fact that public safety for the individual is free, private security is paid. Care for public safety lies on police officers, who in his work, to perform police tasks, use police powers. Care for private security lies on private security companies in which private security personnel carries out the private security tasks. For their work they use measures of security guard and other assets. The purpose of the master thesis is to study the opinion of private security personnel to personal qualities of police officers, their relationship to the clients in proceedings and to private security personnel and differences of opinion on the basis of their age. Next purpose is to investigate whether the police officers have a different attitude to security personnel when they are at work and private life. The aim of the master thesis is to determine whether security personnel believe that the police officers have a positive personality qualities and what their relationship to the clients in proceedings and to them are. The following objectives are to determine, whether the opinion of security personnel vary depending on their age and whether the police officers have a different attitude to security personnel when they are at work and private life. In the theoretical part of the master thesis, we initially gathered and analyzed thematically literature. In the empirical part, we came to the results of research that, according to security personnel, police officers have positive personality and a good attitude to clients in proceedings. But they have a much better attitude to security personnel, when they are at work, than in private life. Opinion of the security personnel to the relationship of the clients in proceedings varies depending on the age of the guards. The older they are, the better opinion they have.

Varnost je ena izmed ključnih dobrin, ki jih potrebuje človek za normalno življenje. Že psiholog Maslow je poudarjal pomen potrebe po varnosti in jo je uvrstil na samo začelje najnujnejših potreb, ki jih človek mora zadovoljiti za normalno življenje. V preteklosti se je zagotavljanje te dobrine naložilo policiji. Danes si demokratično urejenega sveta brez policije ne bi mogli predstavljati. Delovanje policije je nekakšna varovalka, ki ljudem omogoča normalno življenje. Ugotavlja se, da policija varnosti ne more več zagotavljati sama. Država je del nalog zagotavljanja varnosti že prepustila zasebnemu varstvu, nove naloge zagotavljanja varstva pa so v lokalnih skupnostih prevzela občinska redarstva. Tako morajo policija, občinska redarstva in zasebno varnostna podjetja poskrbeti za čim boljše sodelovanje med seboj, prav tako pa se vzpostavi nekakšna soodvisnost med temi organizacijami. Namen tega diplomskega dela je predstaviti soodvisnost in sodelovanje policije, občinskih redarstev in zasebnega varstva pri zagotavljanju varnosti v urbanih središčih. V diplomski nalogi sem naprej skušal opredeliti pojme kot so policija, občinska redarstva, zasebna varnost, urbana središča, soodvisnost in sodelovanje. Nato sem opredelil zakonski okvir, s katerim je opredeljeno sodelovanje in soodvisnost policije, občinskih redarstev in zasebno varnostnih podjetij. Poskušal sem predstaviti sodelovanje in soodvisnost med temi organizacijami v praksi in probleme, ki nastajajo s sodelovanjem. V diplomskem delu sem predstavil odgovore na vprašanja, zastavljene zaposlenemu na Medobčinskem redarstvu v Velenju. Safety is one of the basic elements that human need for a normal life. Famous psihologist Maslow has been saying throue his studies, how inportant is safety for a man, and he put the need for safety to the most basic needs for a normal life. People in the past gave to the police the right to secure their lives. Today we can not imagine a democratic life without police. Police work allows people to live normal life. But police can not take care for people safety by itself any more. Part of the tasks to secure human lives has the country already gave to private sector, and part of the tasks has been given to the lokal society. So the police, private security sector and the municipal wardens must take care for human safety. Olso there must be some kind of interdependency between these organisations, and only with this kind of iterdependency they can do their job in the best way. The purpose of this diploma is to introduce iterdependency and cooperation of police, municipal wardency and private security sector in providing safety in urban centres. In the diploma I first tried to describe concepts: police, municipal wardency, private security, urban centres, interdependency and cooperation. Next I tried to write down legal framework, which is important for cooperation and iterdependency between police, municipal wardency and privat security sector. After that I tried to describe the cooperation ad interdependency between theese organizations in practise and the problems that these organizations are dealing with through their cooperation. I also wrote down the answers to my questions, which I gave to one of the employee on municipal wardency in Velenje.

10. slovenski dnevi varstvoslovja, Ljubljana, 4.-5. junij 2009

V diplomski nalogi smo primerjali pooblastila, ki jih imajo varnostniki v varnostnih službah s pooblastili policistov, zanimalo nas je katera so primerljiva pooblastila, ki jih lahko uporabijo tako policisti kot tudi varnostniki. Cilj naše diplomske naloge je bil predstaviti pooblastila varnostnih služb in policistov. Predstavitev temeljnih pojmov, ki se pojavljajo skozi celotno diplomsko nalogo, je bistvenega pomena za razumevanje obravnavane tematike, predstavljeni so s pomočjo deskriptivne metode. Tekom diplomske naloge smo predstavili katera so posamezna pooblastila varnostnih služb in policijska pooblastila, ki so primerljiva z njimi v Sloveniji, predstavili pa smo tudi stanje na tem področju v Avstriji in Združenih državah Amerike, omenjena tema je obravnavana predvsem s teoretičnega vidika. Opredelili smo tudi svoja stališča do obravnavane tematike in se oprli na zastavljene hipoteze, ki smo jih tekom diplomske naloge potrdili ali ovrgli. Glavna ugotovitev pričujočega diplomskega dela je, da se pooblastila policistov in varnostnih služb v določenih segmentih razlikujejo, ker se razlikujejo področja dela pa je dejstvo, da imajo policisti večja pooblastila kot varnostniki zaposleni v varnostnih službah, vseeno pa lahko med delom policistov in varnostnikov potegnemo vzporednice. Stanje na tem področju v Avstriji in Združenih državah Amerike se razlikuje od ureditve v Sloveniji. This thesis presents the comparison of the powers which have the security guards in the security services and the public police officers. We wanted to find the comparable powers that could be used by public law enforcement and private security agencies. The goal of our thesis was to present the powers of the security services and the public police officers. With the description method we describe the main terms, knowing that they are essential for understanding of presented topic. During the thesis we presented the regulation in Slovenia, especially individual powers of the security services and comparable individual police powers. We also compare Slovenian regulation to regulation in Austria and United States of America. On the basis of hypotheses we have defined our view about the theme and have confirmed or refute them throughout the thesis. The main finding of this thesis reveals that police officers have more powers than security guards employed in security services. Furthermore, powers that could be used by public law enforcement and private security agencies are different in certain segments. The reason for that are differences in work areas. On the other hand one can also find parallels in their work. Last but not least, we found out that regulation of stated powers in Austria and United States of America are different to regulation we have in Slovenia.
