The Ministry of Public Security was founded in 1948 as the Ministry of Police, immediately after Israel had declared its independence. Formally, its Minister has three areas of responsibility - public security, law enforcement, and correction - and the Ministry is the body through which he directs a number of executive agencies in his charge - the Israel Police (IP), the Israel Prison Service (IPS), the Israel Anti-Drug Authority (IADA), and the Israel Witness Protection Authority (IWPA)
The duties of the Ministry, under the day-to-day direction of its Director-General, are:
To make policy and monitor its implementation, to take necessary decisions and see them carried out, to allocate resources to the executive arms and monitor their use, to consider and respond to the demands, proposals and plans put to the Ministry by its field agencies, to receive and process complaints from within the law enforcement system and the general public and draw lessons, to promote new legislation required by the police and prison services, and to represent the interests of the Ministry in dealings with other ministries and public private agencies.
Within the Ministry is the Israel Witness Protection Authority which is an operational authority which acts as a central agency in the war against organized crime and its implications.
The Minister of Public Security is also responsible for the Israel Anti Drug Authority.
The Ministry of Public Security coordinates all activities of the professional staff of the national "City without Violence" program – a system wide program which is designed to confront all types and situations of violence in cities and to increase the sense of personal security among the residents.
