Advances and challenges of the police officers career at local level

Abstract

The legislation on public security determines as a basis for the organization and structure of public security institutions “the professional police career service”, which aims to provide a life plan for its members. Not with standing the mandate of the National Public Security System, it has been detected that its application has not permeated the daily life of public security institutions. This analysis seeks to understand the legislative status of the police career at local level, as well as, to propose improvements to recognize the work of police officers and thus contribute to the improvement of the conditions in their performance.
