A police officer as an employee of the Ministry of the Interior, as well as other civil servants in state bodies, are obliged to perform the tasks prescribed by law. If they do not comply with the Law and other regulations during the service, they will bear disciplinary responsibility for the violation of official duty, while police officers will bear responsibility for the violation committed outside the service as well. Violations of official duty pursuant to the Law on Police and the Law on Civil Servants are divided into minor and serious violations of official duty, the responsibility of which is determined by collecting evidence of the violation until the decision on the violation is made. In the procedure for a minor violation of official duty committed by a civil servant, the head of the body decides, while in the procedure for a police officer this decision is made by the Minister or the superior. When committing a serious violation of official duty, the head of the body is obliged to submit a request for initiating disciplinary proceedings, the decision of which will be made in the first degree by the disciplinary court and in the second degree by the higher disciplinary court for police officers. In the case of a request to initiate proceedings for a serious violation of official duty committed by a civil servant, the Civil Service Tribunal shall decide in the first degree, and the Senior Civil Service Tribunal in the second degree. It is possible to appeal against the decision made in the first degree, and it is not possible to appeal against the decision in the second degree, but it is necessary to initiate an administrative dispute. As with any other violation of regulations, so with the violation of official duty, it is possible to impose certain penalties, of which the reprimand is the mildest, and the termination of civil service the most severe punishment. Another extremely important legal sanction regarding the violation of official duty and protection of the interests and reputation of a state body is removal from the service assigned to the official against whom criminal proceedings have been instituted, proceedings for serious violation of official duty with corruption or criminal charges committing the criminal offense of domestic violence, and also if a violation of such a nature has been committed that the remaining officer would damage the reputation of the service.
