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 the two executive agencies in his charge, the Israel Police (IP) and the Israel Prison Service (IPS).
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.
