In this paper the authors present the tracking and monitoring of Slovenian guest workers, who were temporarily living and working in the Federal Republic of Germany in the 1970s, by the State Security Service. By analysing archival material of the Slovenian political police about the activities and associations of Slovenes in the Federal Republic of Germany, which is kept by the Archive of the Republic of Slovenia and using a selection of scientific works of domestic and foreign historiography, the authors present the process of emigration from the Socialist Republic of Slovenia to the Federal Republic of Germany from a west German and Yugoslav perspective. They also present how the State Security Service tracked Slovenian guest workers in the FRG during the 1970s and which groups of emigrees it paid special attention to. Here the authors concentrate on the tracking of Slovenian emigree clergy and emigree press, both groups having had large cultural influence on other Slovenian guest workers while they lived and worked in the Federal Republic of Germany.

The article presents considerations regarding the issues of state security management in crisis situations and states of emergency in the context of organized actions. During the research and presentation of the results, a system approach has been utilized, because it turned out to be very useful for practical reasons. Only such an approach creates the possibility for a mechanism to organize the state of knowledge about security. This technique was also picked for the reason that the determinants of the system approach are the features of all activities subjected to supervision of security attainment and maintenance, such as: anticipation, adaptation, purposefulness of action, and focus on development, which are the properties of the system approach. A procedure that still remains a modern way of practical action. The system approach was supported by its features such as: holism, comprehensiveness, essentialism, structuralism, contextualism, teleologism, functionality, efficiency, synergism and development. During the research, the method of source analysis has been used, where the key issue was the analysis of the factual subject matter contained in the source materials, legal acts, scientific and popular science literature. The conducted research indicates that the level of threat determines the use of crisis management and emergency state solutions. Threats that are characterized by limited predictability and dynamic volatility. The research results lead to the conclusion that in the interests of the efficiency, the state is introducing a number of legal and organizational solutions, referring to, among others, crisis management and administration of the state in conditions of emergency. The characteristic feature of the above mentioned solutions is cooperation. Its universality means that it is not always possible to notice its occurrence. Usually, cooperation is mentioned in situations of spectacular activities, apart from the perma-nent, "ordinary" intermingling of the activities of various institutions. The legal and organizational solutions mentioned above take the form of organized undertakings, exceedingly useful in all efforts to provide security of the state. Research also indicates that proper organization of state security system activities is a basic condition for an acceptable level of non-risk to the state as an organization and its components and, above all, citizens.

The article outlines the basic terminological concepts, such as: status, legal status, administrative and legal status. The opinions of various scholars on the interpretation of the concept of the legal status of law enforcement agencies, its structure and elements are analyzed. The administrative and legal status of law enforcement agencies that ensure the formation and implementation of state policy in the field of national security and defense, including the administrative and legal status of the National Police, Prosecutor's Office, National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, State Bureau of Investigation, Law Enforcement Service, State Security Service of Ukraine, state border guards. It was established that the administrative and legal status is a systemic set of such administrative and legal properties of law enforcement agencies that implement state policy in the field of national security and defense, as: competence; the order of formation and acquisition of legal features; name; location; structure; goals of operation; responsibilities, which are directly regulated by current regulations, laws of Ukraine, and international agreements, the binding nature of which is given by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. The presence of administrative and legal status means that law enforcement agencies have the competence defined by administrative and legal norms – subjects of jurisdiction, rights and responsibilities (powers), are responsible for actions or omissions within their own or delegated competence, perform public, executive, functions involved in administrative legal relations of a regulatory or protective nature. It was concluded that the administrative and legal status of law enforcement agencies (National Police, Prosecutor's Office, National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, State Bureau of Investigation, Law Enforcement Service, State Security Service of Ukraine, state border guards) as subjects of state policy formation and implementation in sphere of national security and defense determines the main directions of influence on public relations in the state, and those that arise to protect the interests of national security and defense of the state. It was stated that the obligatory sign of acquisition by law enforcement bodies - subjects of administrative-legal status is the presence of specific subjective rights and obligations, which are realized both within the administrative legal relations and outside them.
