Abstract
With modern trends for global and social development,
despite the state authorities in the security system, also the private
security sector is up to the pace with this trend of modernization in
providing security and protection.
Although the general goal and idea of private security
sector, basically is the same – protection of property and persons,
many of the countries where the private security system has been
set up have different legal frameworks, regarding the criminalistics
investigations. Aiming exactly same goal, there are differences
in the legal authorization for members who are working in the
private sector in carrying out their work activities in respective
criminalistic investigations, the use of criminalistic methods and
so on, depending on the country they are working. This could cause
problems in international investigations and cooperation. The
realization, providing security, protection of persons and property
is carried out on the basis of legal competence and authorizations
which in some part entail in the sphere of limiting the rights and
freedoms of the citizen (prohibition of access, legitimization,
examination of persons and objects, detention, etc.). In some
countries these legal authority for criminalistic investigations has
narrow approach, but also there are countries with wider approach
in entitled powers that private security personnel has and use.
Therefore, the need for proper criminalistics education, training
and personnel selection is necessary - especially those who have
direct contact with the citizens.
In this paper, we will present a qualitative comparative
analysis of these legal framework in relations to the respective
criminalistics education and training of personnel in the private
security system of the Republic of North Macedonia and the
Federal Republic of Germany.
