they had to take and make photos, take suspects’ fingerprints and mouth swabs, and

2.2.4 Analyses
Operational analyses in the field of general and organized crime were an integral part of
analysing individual offences, and contributed a great deal to the success of their
investigations. Analyses of information on organised crime helped domestic and foreign
security officers in their joint efforts to break up international crime groups. Several strategic
analyses were prepared, namely the analysis of deviating behaviour of the police staff,
analysis of stolen motor vehicles, analysis of domestic violence and a contribution for the
Europol’s report on organised crime. An analysis was made of police measures applied to
arrest the suspect for the murder in Janče.
Further, analyses were also made of measures applied to work in certain fields (public order,
road safety, state border control). Such analyses helped the management of police units in
the decision-making process. In addition to that, a uniform methodology for periodic risk
assessment analyses in cross-border crime and unlawful migrations was set up.
