description Police activities are one of the oldest forms of administrative activities. Concurrently, the police represent one of the major fields of state administration. In previous times, the police comprised the entire sector of state internal affairs while, today, the police cover only a segment of state administration related to public safety of the country and its citizens. When we speak about the reform of state (public) administration, it unavoidably includes a reform of the police. In this paper, the author aims to point to the future priorities in the reform of this significant segment of state administration whose positive impacts could contribute to a more efficient crime combating. These priorities in police reform should include modernization, reorganization and bringing the police closer to the citizens in order to better respond to the challenges and needs of the contemporary society. The police should be the citizens' service and protect their safety by responding to challenges in a timely and efficient manner. In order to fulfill this goal, it is necessary to invest additional efforts into upgrading the financial and technical status of the police forces and to provide a range of educational opportunities aimed at the professional development of police staff.
