Challenge, approach and results.
Security is a fundamental human right, also enshrined in Article 34 of the Constitution of the Republic of Slovenia. Security as such is provided by various entities, including the police and private security services. When using certain measures and means, they must notify the police, who arrive at the location where the measure was applied and act with their own powers.
Problem
Security is a fundamental human right, also enshrined in Article 34 of the Constitution of the Republic of Slovenia. Security as such is provided by various entities, including the police and private security services. When people want to be certain that their home is safe during their absence, they can secure it with technical security systems, which may be linked to a security monitoring centre (VNC).
In the event that an alarm system is triggered in their home, the VNC notifies the intervention security officer, who arrives at the location and checks why the alarm state occurred. Very often, intervention security officers also need police assistance in their work. Security personnel may use certain measures and means in their work, which are set out in Article 45 of the Private Security Act (Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia No.
17/11, hereinafter: ZZasV-1). This Act is the fundamental law according to which security officers must carry out their work.
Solution and Method
When using certain measures and means, they must notify the police, who arrive at the location where the measure was applied and act with their own powers. Police officers have more powers than security personnel, and in their work they must comply with several laws and regulations, including the Police Tasks and Powers Act and the Police Organisation and Work Act. Police officers carry out various tasks in their work, during which they also encounter various security bodies and security officers.
For the successful performance of tasks, particularly the detection and prevention of criminal offences, cooperation between police officers and security officers is important. Security officers must notify the police when using the measure of detaining a person. In the event that the police do not arrive at the location within a specified time (2 hours), the security officer must release the detained person, even if a more serious criminal offence has been committed.
One of the most demanding jobs in the field of private security is precisely the tasks of the intervention security officer. The latter responds to various alarms and incidents and acts accordingly. When an intervention security officer receives notification to respond to various incidents, they never know what will await them at the scene of the intervention incident.
The circumstances in which they intervene may also be dangerous for the intervention officer's life. Every alarm incident must be perceived by the intervention security officer as dangerous, even if it is a false alarm. For more demanding protected facilities, such as banks, the VNC itself immediately notifies the police in the event of an alarm incident.
