Prevention
The Slovenian police force wishes you a pleasant and safe stay in Slovenia.
If, however, some unexpected accident should occur, we are here to make sure
that you don't feel helpless, so we think it right that we introduce ourselves
to you and offer a word of advice for your safety and for the security of your
personal belongings.

Regardless of the type of unpleasant situation you may find
yourself in, we will come to your rescue immediately and provide you with appropriate
assistance. Thanks to our well developed communication and organization system,
you can be connected to whole police force by dialing
113. Make a note of this
number because it will enable you to call for immediate assistance whether you
are involved in an accident of any kind, a car break-in, theft or any other
serious crime.
When calling the police emergency telephone number 113 please state:
- WHAT has happened (traffic
accident, criminal offence, fight, etc.),
- WHERE the incident happened
(place, type of road, for example motorway, direction of driving, or the
vicinity of distinguishable objects),
- WHEN it happened (Did you encounter the incident by chance or
were you involved in it?)
- Whether there is anybody injured, the number of persons and vehicles
involved, and
- Other information that could contribute to your safety and the
safety of other people.
If there are any difficulties in communicating due to lack
of understanding of language, try to tell the basic data such as place and
street, or find someone in your vicinity who understands your language and who
will explain the incident at the police emergency telephone number 113.
We operate through police stations throughout Slovenia, border
police stations, traffic police stations, an airport police station, a maritime
police station, mounted police stations, service dog handler stations and police
stations for compensatory measures. So you'll be able to find us anywhere and
ask us about anything you wish to know concerning your trip, your safety or
our work, because everyone in the police can get by in at least one foreign
language.
Our vehicles, uniforms and symbols are easily recognizable.
Uniformed police and criminal police are in charge of detecting and investigating
crimes. It is the uniformed police who rush to the scene as soon as any crime
is detected or suspected, and they deal with minor cases, while criminal police
officers handle major cases where more demanding investigation and technical
procedures are required.
The activities of the Slovenian police related to tourism are carefully
planned and are integrated with all other factors with the aim of implementing
Slovenia's national tourism strategy. The work is planned and carried
out on the basis of government decisions and activities of the Tourist
Association of Slovenia. It includes preventive work, functiones connected
to traffic safety, protection of the state borders, criminal investigation,
public order and even promotional activities.
