Within framework of the public administration system reform, the Government of Montenegro, on session held 19. 10. 2005 passed the Decree on Amendments to the Decree on Public Administration Organization and Manner of Work, in which the Police Directorate is organized as a separate body of public administration which also defines its scope of work and authorities.

According to the new Rule Book, tasks from the Police Directorate domain are undertaken in five departments (Criminal Police Department, General Police Duties Department, Border Police Department, Department for Human Resources, Legal Matters, Telecommunication and Information Systems and Persons and Buildings Security Department).
Accession of the Montenegrin Police to the International Criminal police Organization- INTERPOL, with full membership, resulted with the establishing of Interpol NCB Podgorica, which is organized within the Criminal Police Department.

Re-organization of the Organized Crime Police Department has been done, in which organizationally have been established the Human Beings Trafficking Unit and Witness Protection Unit, and also the number of employees have been increased.

International Police Co-operation and European Integration Department has been established, while the previous Department for analytical-informational and documentation affairs was re-organized to Department for Planning, Development and Analytics.

Internal Control, as a separate investigative unit, is organized in such a manner that within it counterintelligence protection is provided and work of police officers surveillance is done on all accounts.

As the transparency of work and the role of public service is police strategic interest, so as the establishing of the mutual confidence between citizens and police, Police Directorate has organized ‘'community policing'' in accordance with the international standards.

For direct realization of police tasks, instead of 7 security centers (which existed till now), new eight regional units have been formed (Podgorica, Niksic, Bar, Budva, Herceg Novi, Bijelo Polje, Pljevlja and Berane), and instead of 14 security departments, new 13 outposts have been established.
