Abstract
This chapter describes essential prerequisites for a comprehensive and integrated analysis of international security management in a modern police force. Using the Croatian police as an example, the relevance of education with a special focus on the mental resilience of the police force, the value of evidencing practices through sound research and effective data security management are addressed. The concept of police subculture and the functioning and organisation of the Croatian police are also presented for the purpose of providing the background for discussion. Finally, examples of some successful international research projects are presented.

As a confirmation of this thesis we can state the current COVID-19 pandemic because people all over the world are experiencing the same fear of infection, illness, death, and then the fear of economic losses and consequences, loss of jobs, profits, etc. The Ministry of the Interior has taken over the management of the civil protection headquarters at the national level, together with expert epidemiologists who regularly inform the public about the state of the pandemic in our country, check the behavior of people in accordance with the preventive measures they have prescribed, etc.

In the Republic of Croatia, there is a Regulation on Police Liaison Officers (OG79/18) issued by the Minister of the Interior on the basis of the Police Act. A police liaison officer is a police officer sent to the police authority of the recipient country, institutions, bodies and agencies of the European Union, an international organisation, diplomatic mission or consular post of the Republic of Croatia abroad, for effective cooperation with the police and other bodies of the receiving country; see also: https://www.zakon.hr/cms.htm?id=31533.
