The Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, on the proposal of the Federal Minister of Internal Affairs, Ramo Isak, adopted the Decree on the assignment and removal of ranks from the police officers of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
With this, Isak fulfilled his earlier promise that, with that decree, he would enable the advancement of police officers of the Federal Police Administration in their workplaces and in the areas for which they are specialized.
In practice, this means that we will not lose professional police officers who until now had to change jobs and transfer to other departments due to advancement.
The regulation will have a positive effect on the improvement of the work of police officers in the field of drugs, terrorism, organized and inter-cantonal crime, i.e. where special experience and knowledge of police officers is needed.
“We also point out that the legal prerequisites have been created for Minister Isak to adopt a new curriculum and program of basic police training at the Police Academy of the Federal Ministry of Internal Affairs and to announce a public competition for the recruitment of 100 police officers in the rank of “policeman” and 20 in the rank of “junior inspector”,” it is stated in a statement from FMUP.
With the new Curriculum and Program of the Police Academy, the focus will be on improving training in the field of violence against women, juvenile delinquency, special investigative actions, maintaining public order and peace, preventing riots at sports events, traffic safety, handling weapons and raising professional standards in the work of police officers.
The decree enables police officers at the FMUP Police Academy to be in charge of the implementation of practical police training, where currently the work is performed exclusively by civil servants and state employees.
In the past period, the Federal MUP drafted a new Rulebook on the internal organization of the FMUP and the FUP, in which the positions of police officers with sliding ranks were determined. The new Rulebook will determine the positions of police officers at the Police Academy.
This rulebook will be sent to the Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina for approval in the following period.
