People's interest has always been to be safe and that the place where they live and work has a high level of security. A safe local community is a prerequisite for development and survival, especially in today's time, which is characterized by a large number of different security challenges and threats. People's priority is to be able to satisfy their needs and realize their rights and interests in the local community where they live. Any form of threat to security in the local community arouses the interest of citizens, which is a kind of alarm for the local self-government, but also for the security authorities. Local self-government bodies in the local community are obliged to deal with issues that are of importance to their citizens and to initiate issues that are the responsibility of other bodies and services so that they are resolved in a timely manner. The issue of security in the local community is the responsibility of the local police, which also aims to ensure that the personal and property security of citizens is at the highest possible level. There are various security challenges and threats that endanger citizens in the local community and they primarily differ in relation to the specifics of the local community itself, primarily geographic, demographic, cultural, ethical, ethnic, industrial, social, etc. The aim of this paper is not only to indicate the conceptual definition of the local community and security challenges and threats, but also to indicate the very importance of a safe environment in which people live. Also, the paper will present the perception of various security threats, as well as their ranking by degree of danger by citizens in the municipality of Foča.
