The methods used in the selection of human resources potential for the police needs had been recognized in the remote past, however, those selection proceedings were founded on practical experi-ence. The first selection proceedings founded on scientific facts are implemented in modern era, and they primarily relate to the motor, functional abilities, anthropological and cognitive characteristics, as well as specific police skills and knowledge. The elements that are currently utilized in practice for the personnel selection in police, but also for an initial classification of police officers, imply a degree of motor and functional abilities, health status (determined by the results of previous general health check up), as well as a certain educational level. The functional and motor abilities ensure an elementary safety in the candidate selection for certain duties, primarily relating to the description of their tasks. The goal of this work is to obtain scientific and empirical findings that will help to understand the specificities of development of the anthropological characteristics of the human resources in police, which will contribute towards introducing the new criteria, methods and techniques in the process of development i.e. education, training, planning and developing career in the police, thereby ultimately contributing towards increasing the efficacy and effectiveness of performing police jobs.
