Abstract
The Local Police, who are a body in the service of society, not a “force” used in
society, fulfill according to the European Code of Police Ethics three main tasks: first, to
ensure compliance with the laws, secondly, to help people who are in danger or trouble and,
thirdly, to help people in their relationship with other institutions or individuals.
We have defined the significant terms and concepts that we used throughout the paper.
Secondly, we have presented the theoretical framework by using the analytical method, while
also detecting the relevant items in the construction of the terms, and we have illustrated and
shown the practical, applicable side of the core topics being analyzed, managing to provide a
number of applications of the theoretical aspects, which bring forth the pragmatic finality of
the latter.
Keywords: ensuring public order, good public management, improving citizen safety,
maintaining public order, preventive notification, public order, local police officer,
public servant, public safety, summons, contravention, restoring public order
Introduction
Local police agents operate in areas of public safety established at police station level
through Public Order and Safety Plans, they report new developments in the operational
situation, the number of inhabitants, environments and places with a risk of contraventions
and criminal offences, the available manpower and means, knowledge of persons prone to
commit crimes and also supplement the surveillance of those who are under the attention of
police.
The action priorities set by the Public Order and Safety Plan are the main directions
for focusing the efforts of the structures with responsibilities and authorit y in the field of
public order and they are based on the following strategic objectives:
1. Ensuring Public Order
Ensuring public order involves “a set of specific measures, activities and actions
adopted and carried out by specialized bodies of state administration, in view of the
enforcement of the rules of civic conduct laid down in laws and other normative acts, of the
rights and freedoms of citizens, as well as the protection of public and private property”

.
Ensuring a climate of civic normalcy, of public order and safety has always been a
priority for law enforcement and public safety bodies, which, through their specialized
structures have sought to identify the most effective forms and methods of achieving this goal.
