Protection and enhancement of people and property security is the police aim. To achieve this aim police officers realize a numerous activities. Bearing in mind previously mentioned, the goal accomplishment directly depends on employees quality. Thus, hiring the best candidates is one of the most important activities of human resource management in the police organization. In order to employ the best candidates, the police leadership strives to increase objectivity through the process of police officers selection. In that process, based on job description, human resource specialists set the criteria of choice. Concerning different importance of criteria, it is necessary to determine weight for each criterion and, based on criteria and individual characteristics of candidates choose the candidate who fulfils job requirements the most. The objective of this paper is to describe objective approach to police officers selection by application of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Multi-Attributive Ideal-Real Comparative Analysis (MAIRCA). This approach is equally applicable in police organization as well as in other organizations.
