Mr. Levan Izoria noticed that adoption of a new Law on Police, which came into force on January 1, 2014, made it possible to introduce basic principles and instruments of the modern administrative law into Georgian police law. Exactly the Georgian Law on Police creates a solid legal basis for legitimate police activities. According to Mr. Levan Izoria the book is designed to introduce police law as an academic discipline and thus promote training of qualified police personnel.
After adoption of a new Law on Police - the “Police Law” is the first textbook interpreting the law and providing practical guidelines for the police officers. The provisions of the law are interpreted via practical examples, illustrations and scientific methodology. The forms of response to offences by the police officers are clearly defined from preventive measures. Also, the book defines the methods of enforcement measures, techniques of application of special police means and special firearms.
The book "Police Law" will be presented to all units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs applying in practice the Law on Police; also, the book will be used as a textbook in the Academy of the MIA in the sphere of professional and higher education.
