5.4 INTERNAL SURVEYS As studies reveal, much research has examined public views about fair treatment of citizens by law enforcement officials, but nearly nothing is known about law enforcement officials' perceptions of impartiality and justice within their occupation. 21F 17 It is especially urgent to have insights on whether police officers themselves believe whether the police treat people in neutral, unbiased, and fair ways. So, the application of internal surveys for domestic or public use is a necessity. It would increase the awareness of the organization to take measures to improve the work in certain areas that are identified as weak points by surveys. 5.5 INTERNAL MONITORING MECHANISMS One of the important and even more difficult elements to be realized is the creation of internal mechanisms for monitoring the equal application of the law by the institutions in question. Here we are talking about non-traditional monitoring instruments. What we are suggesting is the construction of big data processing models that can help to statistically identify possible violations of the principle of equality before the law by security institutions. 5.6 NATIONAL MONITORING MECHANISM Ombudsperson and Commissioner for Protection Against Discrimination are two independent national institutions with the legal responsibility to monitor the compliance of the security sector with human rights in their everyday work. These two institutions (each have a sphere of activity defined by law) are set in motion mainly by the complaints that citizens have against security institutions. It would be appropriate if these institutions had a more proactive approach to overseeing the observance of the principle of equality before the law by security sector institutions. Opening a discussion on the creation of common monitoring mechanisms and instruments, comprising of algorithm-based models, would be a step in the right direction. 17 Eugene A.
