Legal state is a democratic creation that is based on legal certainty and rule of law and is a form of state in which all subjects are bound by the law, where it is crucial that this refers to state authorities that have a monopoly over power and directly encroach the sphere of human rights.Acting according to the principle of legally is brought before the police as an imperative of great importance. Although this principle is, without a doubt, primary in the police work, it will not be the central topic of this paper. The goal of the author is to move focus of the paper towards the importance of adhering to ethical principles and standards, basic principles of democratic work of the police, as well as strengthening trust of citizens in the police in order to create safe community with accessible and ethically inclined police that responsibly act together with the community in identifying and solving security issues.
