The security system in the Republic of Macedonia is established as a system of protection of the basic values, a system that should be in function of the protection of the state and the rights and freedoms of all citizens of the Republic of Macedonia, but also a system that should protect the state from all types of threats.The state security policy should be set up so that it can perceive, prevent and eliminate all occurrences of internal or external character in a timely manner that would cause minor or greater violations of the security situation in the society, and thus certain consequences for the citizens and the system, in general. To achieve these goals the state should keep a security policy that means the construction and upgrading of the security system that will be able to respond to modern security challenges, to prevent and resolve the eventual crisis in the country, and to be the guarantor of peace and stability of the state.From the tribal society, the first forms of endangerment of human communities are dated when the survival of man and tribal community was often questioned. But, at that very low and primitive level of development, the man undertook a series of measures to protect him from all kinds of threats and from the dangers that were manifested to him. From then until today's modern societies, the forms and types of endangering of human communities have not disappeared, but rather drastically increased, posing a threat not only in the socio-economic development, but also on the survival of the state and its population.Each society, regardless of internally established socio-political, economic, social and other relationships, determines the social values that are the subject of protection and who actually are of vital interest or the interest of the whole community. These primarily include material goods of society, the state order, territorial integrity, the life and health of the population, its rights and freedoms, etc.Organized crime, corruption and other forms of serious crime that are on the rise are a serious threat to any country. The growth of well-organized criminal groups and transnational organizations on a global scale are factors that seriously affect security in the country and beyond. This situation not only undermines the fundamental values of society, morality and legal norms, but also has a major impact on the economic growth of the country.
