Prezentacija je održana u četvrtak, 14. septembra 2017. godine u hotelu Europe u Sarajevu. Predmetnom događaju prisustvovali su predstavnici policijskih institucija sa različitih nivoa u BiH, predstavnici međunarodnih organizacija i civilnog društva.
Prezentacija rezultata je realizirana u okviru projekta „Puls integriteta i povjerenja u policiju na Zapadnom Balkanu–POINTPULSE“, koji finansira Evropska unija. Mirela Hodović, projekt istraživačica Centra za sigurnosne studije pojasnila je da je implementacija ovog projekta počela u februaru 2015. godine sa ciljem da se doprinese povećanju povjerenja u policiju na zapadnom Balkanu promocijom odgovornog rada i jačanjem integriteta policije.
Potpredsjednik Centra za sigurnosne studije, dr Armin Kržalić je u u svom izlaganju ukazao da rezultati istraživanja javnog mnijenja u ovoj godini pokazuju pad povjerenja od 10 posto u svih 12 institucija u Bosni i Hercegovini. Naglasio je da su razlozi pada povjerenja u institucije zastoj evropskog puta BiH i svakodnevni obračun ljudi iz sigurnosnih institucija, pravosuđa i drugih institucija zakonodavnih vlasti. Također, Kržalić je istakao da građani najviše vjeruju institucijama obrazovanja i policiji, a najmanje parlamentu, tržišnim inspekcijama, tužilaštvu i sudovima. Prema ovom istraživanju, Kržalić je naveo da najviše povjerenja u policiju imaju građani Zeničko-dobojskog kantona, i da uglavnom policiji najviše vjeruju stariji ljudi preko 65 godina. Prikazani su i rezultati istraživanja percepcije policajki i policajaca, pri čemu građani policajke percipiraju kao ljubazne, komunikativne i prijateljski raspoložene a policajce kao podložne korupciji.
Mirela Hodović je u svom obraćanju istakla da dobijeni rezultati za zemlje Zapadnog Balkana pokazuju da u ovoj godini građani kao najpouzdanije institucije navode obrazovanje, policiju, zdravstvo i lokalnu samoupravu. Najmanje povjerenja građani Zapadnog Balkana imaju u parlament, sudove, tužilaštvo i tijela za borbu protiv korupcije. Hodović je također navela da je ovogodišnje istraživanje pokazalo da je korupcija u policiji prisutna u istoj mjeri kao i prošle godine te da se najkorumpiranijim smatraju saobraćajna i granična policija te stručne osobe u uredima ministara.
