PROPOSED LAW NO. 143 /X

Exhibition of Motives

It is a given that crime has changed. Social transformations, policies and

economic have changed the previous paradigms of combating all forms of illicit

criminals. Its transnational character has crossed the limits previously imposed by the

traditional borders. They are example of these evidence, terrorism, corruption, the

money laundering, the laundering of advantages of illicit provenance and the

trafficking in narcotics that are, nowadays, extremely complex phenomena and of

international contours and ramifications.

In Judicial Police, after the general precepts that presided over his gestation,

legally consigned to the Decree-Law No. 35042 of October 20, 1945, the

moment is of concentration, rationalization and specialization of means, following the

defined by the Criminal Investigation Organization Act (Law No. 21/2000, of 10 of

August).

Seven years decorated about the previous Organic Law (Decree-Law No. 275-A/2000, of 9 of

November), it becomes necessary to update and appropriate the Organic structure of the Police

Judicial to the new characteristics of criminality, betting on its specificity

functional.

In this sense and in such a way as to increase the operationality and specialization of PJ are

created national units, with the special mission, specifically, of combat to

organised crime, in place of the previous central directorates, concentrating

in those units the combating of terrorism, corruption and trafficking in narcotics,

taking into account the new characteristics of criminality and socially gravy nature

of those criminal illegitimate, which require adequate responses and intervention from the point of view

of operationality.

Still in accordance with the logic of structural reorganisation of services, taking into account the

need for rationalization of resources towards achieving greater efficiency and

2

effectiveness in the activities developed, units with new assignments are created and

different ambit of acting.

Thus, the territorial units correspond, "roughly way", to the previous directorships, but

with more extensive competences, depending on the transfer of the responsibility of the

combat a few more generic areas of crime, formerly of competence

of the central directions.

The previous criminal investigation departments have given way to regional units and

local units, in the hierarchical dependence and coordination of territorial units, with

fundamentally operational characteristics, by aligning the respective structures

internal and aiming to enable significant gains in the level of efficiency of the activities of

research.

The research support units and support units have come to occupy the place of the

previous central departments and supporting departments.

In this scope and in direct dependence of the National Directorate are still placed the School

of Police Judiciary-previous Higher Institute of Police Judiciary and Criminal Sciences

-constituting itself as an organic unit specialized in the training of employees

of the Police Judiciary and other criminal police bodies, without forgetting the component of the

international cooperation, the Unit for the Prevention and Technological Support, the Unit of

Financial Information

Thus being and in the framework of the guidelines set out by the Restructuring Programme of the

Central Government of the State (PRACE) and the objectives of the Government Programme in the

touching on administrative modernization, improvement of the quality of public services with

efficiency gains, it matters to realize the effort of consecrated structural rationalization

in the Decree-Law No. 206/2006 of October 27, which approved the organic law of the Ministry

of Justice, advancing in the definition of the organizational models of the services they integrate

the respective structure.

Under the terms of the paragraph d) of Article 197 (1) of the Constitution, the Government presents to the
