Abstract
The article discusses the current legal regulations dealing with the tasks and duties of the court officers as well as the misinterpretation of the actual role of the court officers in the mass media, among the staff working in various institutions and the persons being under the officers’ charge. The authors have described a few most essential differences in the work with an individual and his background, among the professional court officers, social workers and police officers. They have pointed out that understanding the differences within the specific duties as well as undertaking an effective cooperation are the key factors that have an impact on the efficacy of the rehabilitative operations.
