Sažetak
This paper provides an overview and description of minor and serious violations of official duty by police officers in the Republic of Croatia, with an insight into historical regulations on violations of official duty, as well as the practice of Disciplinary Tribunal at the Ministry of Interior, Administrative and Constitutional Court of the Republic of Croatia. The author emphasises the importance of violati-ons of official duty, "inappropriate behaviour on or off duty when it damages the reputation of the service", on the grounds of which, and due to the importance of their role, police officers are disciplinary responsible even for the violations which take place off duty. Finally, the author conclu-des that the law, in its essence, by including numerous descriptions of violations, manages to "cover" all major violations of official duty, as well as suggests certain legal qualifications which would more clearly and in more details proscribe the forbidden and punishable behaviour. Regarding minor viola-tions of official duty the author suggests additional descriptions of violations to be proscribed by regu-lations of the Ministry of the Interior.
