Title:
Police and its Complications: Gordian Knot or Neuronal Network?

Abstract:
The text deals with the issue of how public administrations with security tasks coordinate themselves. Does a mutual coordination resemble a gordian knot or a network of neurons? Does public administration with security tasks in Germany coordinate in a way that follows a publicly accepted compromise between effectivity and openness? A view into recent German media coverage about the issue of coordination between internal security issues reveals that a mutual coordination may open up chances for amelioration. However, of course more research to the security organisation in the German federal state is necessary to allow more and better insight to the mutual coordination.
