Biography

Ćulum was born in Ljubačevo, 8 km south of Banja Luka. He graduated from the secondary police school in Sarajevo in 1988, when he became a police officer. On 1998 he finished his education at the Faculty of Philosophy in Banja Luka and in 2009 he graduated from Faculty of Security, also in Banja Luka.[1]

From April 1999 Ćulum served as chief of the police group for the prevention of serious thefts. In October 2003 he became chief of the department for the fight against serious crimes. Between 2006 and 2010 he was chief of the sector of crime police of the center for public security of Banja Luka, and between 2010 and 2012 he was chief of the center of public security. In February 2012 he became chief of administration of the RS Police and in February 2015 he was appointed deputy director of the RS police, replacing Nijaz Smajlović. [1]

On 18 August 2016 the Government of Republika Srpska appointed Ćulum as RS police director, replacing Gojko Vasić.[1][2][3] During his term, together with the RS Minister of the Interior Dragan Lukač, Ćulum has been accused of taking part in the cover-up of police officers involved in the death of David Dragičević.[4]

On 14 July 2020 Ćulum was appointed as Director of Bosnia and Herzegovina's State Investigation and Protection Agency.[5]

gollark: The trouble is that my backend works by parsing the HTML produced by DC, which is not optimal - to fix this I'd need API access, which I do not have, to get the scroll data.
gollark: Er, possibly. I was about to talk about that.
