CHDS State/Local / Shortly after September 11, 2001, our nation's law enforcement community found itself ill prepared to handle the range of responsibilities required in a nation under the threat of terrorism. Police organizations hastily assigned resources to help mitigate areas hit hard by the attack while dispersing investigative capital to prevent future strikes. A stark realization would follow, exposing the demands of coping with counter-terrorism while balancing finite resources aimed at traditional crime fighting. These added challenges underscored the notion that American policing had entered a new era - Homeland Security. This thesis evaluates the options state police organizations have for adopting an appropriate style of policing for Homeland Security. A case study of the New Jersey State Police (NJSP) response to this challenge further examines how such organizations can transform their structures and processes to bolster their intelligence apparatus. The NJSP objective was to confront the challenges of Homeland Security while better equipping the organization to respond to its traditional investigative responsibilities. Using the example of the NJSP, the study provides a realistic set of solutions for other state police organizations to implement when setting their own course in the Homeland Security Era. / Detective Sergeant (DSG), New Jersey State Police

(in English): This diploma thesis deals with an analysis of modern legal state in the context of Hegel's Elements of philosophy of Right. Hegel is presenting an analysis of the concept and phenomenon of state, which is until contemporary times valid. Although his state can be described as a police state, it has a lot in common with contemporary modern legal state. First, in the thesis a brief overview of thinking about the state, consequently Hegel's conception of state is analyzed, and finally these findings are used to point out selected problems of contemporary state and Hegel's conception. Above all it is shown that Hegel's state, as well as contemporary modern legal state, contain in themselves a contradiction - a contradiction between freedom on one hand and state power on the other hand. In contemporary state is this obvious especially on the problematic position of human rights. In this context, it is possible to draw an advice and lesson from Hegel. However, at the end, it is shown that freedom, as well as human rights are not matter of course, and it is necessary to strive for preserving those values, while the state functions could be performed.
