Sažetak
The police are a security service that protects fundamental constitutional rights and freedoms of citizens. In the police system, the role of management is im- portant, and it has two key dimensions: personal and institutional. Personal dimension of management is demonstrated through the responsibility of police executives (managers) in the police system at all levels - operational, tactical and strategic. Apart from their professional knowledge and skills, the success of police managers also depends on their individual traits - abilities and personal- ity traits. This paper deals with the perception of operational police managers of the importance of managers’ individual traits for the success of management at the operational level. Given the above, empirical research was carried out, using the method of survey, by means of a Questionnaire on Traits and Suc- cess of Police Managers. The research included 106 heads of police stations from police administrations with headquarters in the regional centers of the Republic of Croatia (Split, Rijeka, and Osijek) and their surrounding police administrations. Respondents were given a questionnaire with some of the important traits of managers (12 of them), which mostly referred to overall management in the private and public sector. With regard to the above, the respondents expressed their opinion in accordance with their own knowledge and work experience, stating that each of indicated traits has an important role for the success of police managers in the Croatian police system, primarily in case of managing police stations as fundamental police organizations. Data collected were also considered in the context of the existing system of selection of managers in the Croatian Police, which should be developed. The aim of this research was to identify the importance of certain traits of managers in the po- lice practice (empirical introspection), to valorize some of the managerial traits in the procedures of selection of future managers (preferential selection) and to develop appropriate managerial potentials in persons employed in the police system (educational anticipation).
