LEVELS, BOUNDARIES AND DIRECTIONS OF INTERACTION BETWEEN ENTITIES PERFORMING TASKS TO PROVIDE PUBLIC SAFETY AND ORDER

Abstract

The article emphasizes that the levels of interaction form a hierarchical
structure of security process management from national to local. Their peculiarity
lies in the distribution of competencies, responsibilities and resources, as well as
in ensuring the coherence of strategic and tactical actions.
It is proven that the boundaries of interaction perform a regulatory
function, determining the legal and institutional framework of the activities of
each subject in the public security system. They allow avoiding conflicts of
jurisdiction, duplication of functions and irresponsibility, while at the same time
contributing to increasing the effectiveness of interaction.
It is argued that the directions of interaction reflect the content, methods
and specific forms of cooperation between subjects. They can cover a wide range
of actions – from information exchange, joint patrolling, preventive measures, to
exercises, anti-crisis planning and response to emergencies.
It is proven that the common feature of the boundaries, directions and
levels of interaction is that they constitute a holistic and interconnected structure.
Their division is conditional, since in practice they constantly intersect and
interact. This relationship determines the adaptability of the system, its ability to
self-regulate, respond quickly and plan strategically. That is why the principles of
systematicity, coordination, legal certainty, flexibility and responsibility should be
the basis of a successful security policy.
