Abstract: This study explores and analyzes the transition from the Palestine Police to the Israel Police. It also examines the circumstances under which the Israeli police force was established, the impact of the Israel Independence War of 1948, and the social changes which followed the birth of the State, affecting the structure, functions and accountability of the police. The accountability of the police force in the young State during the first decade of its existence forms the main theme of the study.;The objectives of the analysis are to document the transition period and to analyze the new notions of police accountability, focusing on the mechanisms of control which were developed and introduced by Israel, a parliamentary democracy, in place of the organizational structure used by the Palestine Police, which had been organized along colonial lines and systems.
