Main purpose of article was to investigate the degree to which students: future law-enforcement officers, who will be obliged to provide security for other people, think about their own/personal safety in digital space. The paper presents both theoretical considerations and empiric data from a study, dedicated to investigating whether future law-enforcement stu- dents recognize the main dimensions of safety in digital space, because so much of contemporary social, personal and professional life is being carried out in digital spaces. If future law-enforcement officers are una- ble recognize the dimensions of safety, they, as a consequence, will not be professional enough to consult and to provide support to citizens on the issues that start in some cases dominate the functioning of a contemporary person in a contemporary world.
