In the diploma thesis entitled Certain Aspects of Postal Service Security, the author will present the Post as an infrastructure entity, with an extensive range of services and activities, which will be briefly described, whilst focusing on the area of effectiveness in preventing ** post office** robberies. The Post as an institution with financial operations is frequently the target of criminals who attempt to obtain quick unlawful financial gain through robberies. This endangers the life and health of employees in post offices.

Effective security of post offices, both physical and technical as well as mechanical, with all available means, plays a significant role in protecting against such acts, which will be investigated. The author will verify whether the introduction of technical security contributes to reducing the number of robberies. The criminal vulnerability of Pošta Slovenije will be examined and its security policy will be reviewed.

The Post as an institution must comply with regulations and laws, as well as other acts. One of these is the Postal Services Act, in which Article 51 will be presented, which defines the confidentiality of postal items and the protection of personal data, Article 52, which addresses the amount of compensation by the postal service provider, Article 55 covers lawful supervision, and Article 61 sets out the legislation in the field of providing information. The organisation of security in the field of the Post as an institution is a very important aspect in the area of ensuring safety and effectiveness in preventing criminal offences at the post office, where physical and technical security are of great assistance.

Just as with all other services of Pošta Slovenije, the quality of receiving and delivering valuable postal items is of exceptional importance, which is aided by the traceability of valuable postal items. This area will be investigated and presented in the diploma thesis. The Post devotes considerable attention to the safety of postal workers by providing appropriate safety and protective equipment.

The use of protective equipment contributes to reducing injuries that occur during work. Whether postal workers use protective and safety equipment during work is a topic that will be addressed in the diploma thesis and which the author will attempt to investigate. The Post has also ensured safety with appropriate signage on the premises.

Pathways for employees walking through the halls are marked, as are transport routes outside the facility designated for vehicles. The security policy of Pošta Slovenije encompasses, in addition to technical and physical security of people and property, the management of all security risks that result from any criminal acts. The corporate security policy pays particular attention to the area of reducing risks for the occurrence of criminal acts by third parties, as well as the occurrence of harmful acts. The company also provides support to victims of criminal offences.
