WRT electricity, police, etc. on Shabbos in Israel.
If the State truly cared about Shabbos, many things could be done by non-Jews. There are PLENTY (some would say too many) of non-Jewish police officers in Israel. Same for the electric company. Many utilities have long since been automated to a great extent, as has been pointed out. A little creative ingenuity (that Israel so prides itself on) and a few non-Jewish Shabbos supervisors, and they could be good to go Halachically IF THEY CARED ENOUGH. There is a tendency among RZ Rabbis to immediately invoke the ‘But how will the Heiliger State manage if we keep Shabbos/Shemittah/Tzniyus/etc. without any shtick?’ clause. Actually, the biggest Shabbos challenges are factories that use extreme high-temperature furnaces (Phoenicia Glass and the Haifa oil refinery being the most infamous) that take much time to warm up and to cool down (and therefore almost never shut down). There are actually Halachically and technically viable suggestions that have been made how to deal with those issues, based on technology that has been used in other places, but the management isn’t interested.
