“…This chapter also acknowledges the pivotal role of public opinion in influencing the relationship between the SDGs, policing models, and security strategies, especially within the rural areas of transitional countries like Croatia. Public opinion is a crucial indicator of the legitimacy and trust in policing practices and institutions (Lobnikar et al, 2015a).…”

“…The chapter emphasises the importance of fostering relationships between the police and community members as a cornerstone of effective policing in rural settings in Croatia. Public opinion is a crucial indicator of legitimacy and trust in policing practices and institutions Lobnikar et al, 2015a;Tankebe, 2014;Vukadin et al, 2013;Worden & McLean, 2017). In settings where conflicts or authoritarian regimes have undermined public trust in law enforcement, favourable public opinion towards reform initiatives and communityoriented policing indicates growing trust and legitimacy (Brogden, 2005).…”

“…Critical policing scholarship revisits the discourses on policing, the police and nation-state building (Vitale, 2017), questioning the so-called militarized tradition of continental European police (Ponsaers, 2001) and the specific tasks of ‘militia’ in ex-socialist European regimes (Lobnikar et al., 2015). Nevertheless, questions of police history reveal the institution’s intertwined past with state colonial or repressive regimes (Loftus, 2009).…”

The French police and Romanian forces seek to identify, surveil and control Romanian citizens who are suspected to be ‘irregular migrants’ or ‘criminals’ in France. The two states sealed a bilateral agreement to deploy Romanian police forces on French territory: twice a year Romanian uniformed officers patrol next to the French police, whereas liaison officers work throughout the year in several French police units. Policing its own citizens on another state territory becomes part of police work in the EU, a police model encouraged and criticized at the same time. This article engages in debates on geographies of policing and cross-national policing in the context of EU citizens’ deportation. It problematizes the ‘imagined’ and ‘fictional’ in nation, state and police work instead of the claimed management, control, and law enforcement. It scrutinizes the role of performativity in the work of Romanian and French joint police forces. It documents cultural organization of the police in France and Romania, and it empirically explores personal positions in Franco-Romanian police forces working together in the Paris region. This article aims to evidence the cultural, social and institutional dynamics within transnational policing played out against the background of a bilateral mission.
