The HR challenge in the Police Force of Suriname
The Police Force of Suriname KPS
Originally, police in Suriname had the sense of caring for the whole State Board. In the middle of the last century meant caring for domestic governance. Now it means to care for the
maintenance of order, peace and security of society; Detecting crimes and monitor the compliance of the legal requirements.
Following the various tasks creates a distinction, n.l .:
1. Functional
The Repressive Police detection of offenses, monitor compliance with legal requirements also referred to as Judicial and Criminal Police. The Preventive Police maintenance of public order
and security, prevent violations and protect people and property or also called Administrative Security Police
2. Organizational
The General Police General powers of investigation The Special Police Limited investigative powers
The Military Police General investigative powers to military sites and objects and limited investigative powers in public places.
Suriname is a constitutional state in which is states how the managing powers are divided in three category:
• A government with the president in the lead, bound by law and justice. • A constitution in which the fundamental rights of citizens and the ratios are guaranteed between
government and citizens. • The Trias Politica, where there is an independent judiciary.
Share of the police can be found in general in the different tasks and responsibilities performed in subordination to the competent authority. Namely the government provides the guarantee to
the citizens to ensure their rights legal, as the police may be included in the executive Trias Politica. This shows that the police can never serve as the fourth power.

The vision of KPS
The KPS is a professional organization:
With a working environment that is characterized by team spirit, collegiality and open communication where employees are constantly given the opportunity to develop their
potential fully inspirational leadership;
That provides continuous high-quality policing;
With full advantage of modern technology;
Which is regularly accountable to society;
Who enter into effective partnerships.
To realize the vision of KPS, they had some starting points:
Personal are central;
the availability and accessibility of the police should be evenly spread over the territory;
a shift out of an incident directed towards problem-oriented approach is that is programmatic in nature and is attuned to the problems of the catchment.
Taking a good look at the mission an vision of KPS it can be concluded that the factor human is very important. Therefore it is very important that KPS has a balanced HRM. But in the practice
it can be concluded that the organization has challenges in the HRM. For identifying which challenges KPS is facing it is necessary to do a HR scan.
