3. Exhibit 1: Damage Claims for Police Use of Force and the Payment of Damages
due to Improper Police Use of Force in 2002–2005
Damage claims connected to police use of force highlighted for a number of years
in the reports of the Attorney-General's Office as well as in reports from the Ministry
of the Interior
The National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia adopted a resolution in 2003, in
which it recommends to the Slovenian government a thorough examination of
damage claims and a strategy to cope with them successfully

LEARNING AND GROWTH
1. Establishment of an effective system for rewards and penalizing
irregularities in the use of force. Rewarding instructors, mentors, and
police officers is linked to (1) successful testing of training and mental
and physical ability (licensing when necessary) for the use of force
and (2) proposals for improvements at the strategic and operational
levels in the use of force
2. Quality conditions and teaching materials for training police officers in
the use of force at all units where police officers are trained
3. Central records on the use of force at the General Police Directorate
through which legal proceedings, grievances, expenses of damage
claims, and payouts can be monitored, together with information
from insurance companies
4. Enough top-quality trained instructors
5. An educational system that ensures a high level of knowledge and
training for police officers for the lawful and professional use of force
(before, during, and after the use of force)
6. Testing police officers’ training and mental and physical ability
(licensing when necessary) for the use of force in their work

8. Destination Statement = Desired state of

INTERNAL PROCESSES
1. Based on monitoring how the public understands police use of force,
clear guidelines for communicating with the public
2. A strategy for the development and use of police force
3. A fair system for ensuring the professional security of police officers
4. A developed and uniform system of strategic and operational
supervision of damages (Attorney-General's Office, MNZ, General
Police Directorate, Police Directorate) (necessary information to each
and, where this overlaps, identical information)
5. Deployment and organization of police units in the community to
ensure faster response to emergencies
6. Ensuring high quality of information for procedures for gathering
evidence in damage claims
7. A uniform and transparent system for managing regulations and
eliminating vagueness in them regarding the use of force.

POLICE BEHAVIOR
1. A high level of affiliation of police toward the organization
and dedication to the profession
2. Greater police presence in the community (e.g. reduced
administrative work, visits to courts)
3. Active participation by police officers with suggestions for
improvements at the strategic and operational levels in the
use of force
4. More conflict resolution in emergencies without force or with
lawful and professional use of force (including moral and
ethical norms)
5. Reduced and less serious injury to police officers using force
and persons involved in these procedures

10. Destination Statement = Desired state of

PUBLIC PERSPECTIVE
1. A higher level of political culture in the relationship toward police
work regarding the use of force
2. Public acquaintance with the authority of the police in their use of
force and the correctness and effectiveness of the use of force
3. Reduction in the payout of damage claims because of
unprofessional or unlawful use of force or failure to take required
action
4. Reduction in the payout of damage claims because of irregularities
in damage claim procedures (reduction in unprofessionally gathered
evidence, doubts regarding the impartiality of assessments of the use
of force, poorly prepared procedural materials, insufficient
testimony, and insufficient cooperation among services)
5. Lower costs for damage procedures
6. Fewer grievances because of excessive use of force
7. Fewer damage claims because of the use of force
8. Reduction in court cases because of the use of force
