Police station
A police station is a local organisational police unit, established to directly
carry out police tasks within a particular area or some tasks within the range
of responsibilities of a police directorate.
A police
station is headed by a commander. The police station commander manages
the police station and plans, organizes, directs and supervises the performance
of work under the jurisdiction of the police station, ensures legal, efficient
and prompt execution of tasks and orders measures and decisions in line with
the law and the powers conferred upon him/her by the director of the police
directorate. The police station commander is accountable to the director
of the police directorate for his/her performance, the state of affairs at
the police station and the performance of the police station.
A special police method of work comprises police
offices.
This is a work area reserved for police work. The emphasis is on advisory activities,
receipt of notifications, collection of information and other duties not connected
to emergency police measures.
A typical example of the location of a police office is a
ski resort, for example.
Where the establishment of a police station with all appurtenant infrastructures
and staff is not rational or a police office is not a suitable form of police
work due to safety reasons, a police section as an internal organisation unit
of a police station is established.
The Police perform their activities in the jurisdiction of one or more municipalities
divided into police precincts. The heads of police precincts ensure various
forms of assistance, perform preventative activities and cooperate with citizens,
local authorities, companies and other subjects.
Police stations for the direct performance of police tasks within a particular
area or some tasks within the range of responsibilities of a police directorate
comprise:
- Police
station,
- Traffic
police station,
- Border
police station,
- Maritime police station,
- Airport police station,
- Railway police station (abolished on 14 October 2007),
- Mounted police station,
- Service dog handler station;
- Police
station for compensatory measures
There are also groups (border control and state border surveillance groups)
organised within police stations which do not represent organisational units
but rather work forms which originate from the Schengen Action Plan and its
amendments and supplements as well as signed protocols.
There are also groups (security task groups and operative task groups) organised
at the Brnik airport police station which again are not organisational units
but work forms originating from the Schengen Action Plan and its amendments
and supplements as well as signed protocols.
