The role of security agencies in the field of natural environment protection in Algeria

Abstract

The goal of administrative settings is to maintain the general system with all of its ancient and modern forms which is possible through the different means available such as the administrative licenses. In addition, administrative settings aim at the preservation of the aesthetic view of cities and the upkeep of citizens' health and safety, while it also functions as a protector of the environment from all types of pollution which is nowadays at an increasing level. Nonetheless, Algeria, as the many countries of the world, seeks, through its legislative system, to preserve the environment by making use of the various means available to protect it whether on the central level or the local level. This is according to the administrative and the judicial organs side. However, from the security services side, the urban and environmental protection police serves as a perfect example of protecting the environment since it is permitted by law to intervene with any act that might result in negative effects on the environment.
