Summary/Abstract: The author of this article deals with the law enforcement authorities, which belong today to the state instruments of securing the criminality prevention and criminality repression. Realized recodification of criminal law has brought a crucial change in the definiton of the law enforcement authorities. The law-court has been excerpted from the definition of the law enforcement authorities and at the present time only the prosecutor and policeman are bodies of investigation and prosecution. For that reason the author defines new elements in the organisation of these law enforcement authorities, analyzes changes in their powers and position in the criminal procedure. In the conclusion he outlines some negative aspects of these authorities brought by the recodification.
