The article examines theoretical and legal issues concerning the role of security services within the public security system. It analyzes the functional and legal relationship between public security, crime prevention and security activities. Based on Uzbek legal scholarship, the article argues that the security service should be legally understood not merely as a property-protection institution but also as a public-security actor contributing to early threat detection and prevention of offenses. Proposals are developed to clarify its administrative-legal status, powers, interagency cooperation and preventive functions.
