CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING THE ROLE OF THE POLICE IN ROMANIA, IN THE CONTEXT OF GOOD GOVERNANCE

At present, against the backdrop of military conflicts taking place in different parts of the world, security has become one of the main concerns and demands of citizens, both on a personal level and in the public sphere. As one of these armed conflicts is currently underway in the vicinity of Romania, there is an intense need to strengthen state security, safety and the role of state authorities. At the international level, the interest in security refers not only to armed conflicts but also to the devastating events such as mass movements of migrants and refugees, famines, pandemics, drugs, organized crime and terrorism. In this context, the role of public authorities in Romania is essential and the activity of the police within the administrative authorities is vital.
