Abstract:

    Administration and security, which are among the basic functions of the state, are two separate phenomena that complement each other. It is unthinkable to administer without security and to provide security without administration. The change in one of the administration and security approachment that leads to each other causes the change of the other. Thus, in the state administration mechanism; changes related to central government and local government policies are also affect the functioning of security services.     The idea of centralism in state administration and the historical importance of administrative law in the country, France is one of the first examples that comes to mind in the countries dominated by centralization. Traces of the centralized administration approach in the country can also be seen in the functioning of interior security services. However, the debates focused on the decentralization in Europe have led to the questioning of this traditional centralism idea in France, which has brought about some changes. In this study, the relationship between government and security functions; the central government and local government policies and the change of these policies will be examined through the case of France.     Turkey and France's central and local government structure shows similarities to a large extent. In order to see the relationship between administrative and interior security units in France; the changes in the administrative and security organizations in the recent period will be put forward and the factors causing the change in policy will be examined and the effects of these changes on the security services will be discussed. There is a considerable number of studies in the foreign literature on the police systems of countries. In the Turkish literature, these studies are limited. The increase in the examination of these studies at the academic level will help to examine the relationship between the administration units and security services. Future studies, to be carried out in Turkey's interior security policy will constitute practices for the desired change.
