Method of financing. According to Law no. 155/2010, where the local police department is organized as
a specialized function, the work is fully financed from the local budget (Law nr.155/12.07.2010 local police,

chapters VIII, art. 39).

? Strengths

fields (safety and public order, road traffic, environmental protection, etc.);

providing them real-time adaptation to changes in legislation. Also, physical training allows
employees their intervention in emergency situations;

future development of services;

Emergency Situations (IES) lead to higher service quality.

their yield may decrease;

2. Reducing the quality of work as a result of reducing the budget between 2009 - 2011;

3. Lack of correlation between the current needs with those on the medium and long term and with
financial allocations, that are declining in recent years;
