DESCRIPTION:The police usually present themselves as a service to the socie
 ty. The public has become accustomed to seeing police officers on the medi
 a solving crimes successfully\, helping and rescuing people in various acc
 idents\, saving animals. Positive presenting of police in the media\, toge
 ther with improved police work quality\, contributed to the long-term tren
 d of rising trust and confidence in Lithuanian police.\nDuring the COVID p
 andemic the police were tasked with ensuring the introduction of restricti
 ons on movement and social distancing\, compliance with quarantine rules\,
  which had to ensure a slower spread of the virus. Police have also starte
 d to provide fewer contact services\, less engaged in direct face-to-face 
 contacts during crime investigations. Reduction of the visibility of the p
 ositive police work\, gave the impression that the police are working less
  and worse on crime investigation.\nThe research is based on the analysis 
 of the content of Lithuanian news portals and data of Lithuanian public op
 inion surveys about perceptions of public security in 2006-2020. The data 
 shows that during the Pandemic\, the image of the police is changing - fro
 m a positive of defending\, protecting\, helping institution\, to negative
 \, as mass public control institution. The police are forced to enforce th
 e quarantine\, movement restrictions\, punish non-compliance with quaranti
 ne rules. Influenced by the media and changed nature of police contacts\, 
 public attitudes towards the police are changing\, with consequences for p
 ublic safety situation.
