The subject of this paper is the trust in the police analyzed through the research results gathered in the period from 2009 to 2021. Trust is an indicator of community expectations and hopes for the position, role, and tasks of the police; it appears as a moment of particular importance for the quality of the relationship between the police and the citizens. It correlates with the expectations of the citizens and the activities it really does for them. If the degree of closeness between the citizens' expectations and the real role of the police is greater, then it is expected that citizens would be more satisfied with the police, pay respect to it and have more positive attitude towards it.Previous findings have determined that citizens' expectations are concentrated around four basic police roles: a) property protection; b) maintaining public order and peace and solving their specific problems; c) to hear the information provided by them and to act preventively and d) to be near them as a symbol of order and strength, i.e., as a guarantee of previous expectations. It is about the main expectation of the citizens from the police, to provide safety of their life and property and to restore and ensure peace and tranquility in their surrounding, i.e., to deprive them of the fear of crime and discomfort due to disturbing the peace.
