Ministry of Interior. They are commanded by
Maj. Gen. Tarek Al Hasan and include all
Ministry of Interior field units responsible for

IRAN
• Intensely concerned with matters of internal security in
the post-1953 environment, the Shah authorized the
development of one of the most extensive systems of law
enforcement agencies in the developing world. The
Gendarmerie and the National Police gained in
numbers and responsibilities. The secret police
organization, SAVAK, gained special notoriety for its
excessive zeal in "maintaining" internal security. But as
in the regular armed forces, the shah's management
style virtually eliminated all coordination among these
agencies. He tended to shuffle army personnel back and
forth between their ordinary duties and temporary
positions in internal security agencies, in order to
minimize the possibility of any organized coups against
the throne. Added to this list of institutional
shortcomings was agencies' all- important public
image, cloaked in mystery and fear.
• The National Police of Iran operated with
approximately 200,000 men in 1979, a figure that has
not fluctuated much since
• After the People’s Revolution in 1986, a new
Constitution was promulgated providing for a police
force, which is “national in scope and civilian in
character.” Consequently, Republic Act No. 6975
entitled, “An Act Establishing the Philippine
National Police under a Reorganized Department of

No. 8551 entitled “PNP Reform and the
Reorganization Act of 1998” was enacted on
February 17, 1998, amending certain provisions of
Republic Act No. 6975.
• The National Police was also under the Ministry of Interior,
and its responsibilities included all cities with more than
5,000 in population, at least 20 percent of the population.
Additionally the National Police was responsible for
passport and immigration procedures, issuance and control
of citizens' identification cards, driver and vehicle licensing
and registration, and railroad and airport policing. Some of
these duties were absorbed into the Ministry of the Pasdaran
during the early years of the Revolution, and cooperation
between these two branches seemed extensive.
undergone complete reorganizations. IRP leaders quickly
appointed Gendarmerie and police officers loyal to the
Revolution to revive and reorganize the two bodies under the
Islamic Republic. Between 1979 and 1983, no fewer than
seven officers were given top National Police portfolios.
Colonel Khalil Samimi, appointed in 1983 by the influential
Ali Akbar Nategh-Nouri, then Minister of Interior, who was
credited with reorganizing the National Police according to
the IRP's Islamic guidelines.
 The Gendarmerie followed a similar path. Seven
appointments were made between 1979 and 1986,
leading to a full reorganization. In addition to Brigadier
General Ahmad Mohagheghi, the commander in the
early republican period who was executed in late
summer of 1980 and five colonels were purged.
Colonel Ali Kuchekzadeh played a major role in
reorganizing and strengthening the Gendarmerie after
its near collapse in the early revolutionary period. The
commander in 1987, Colonel Mohammad Sohrabi, had
served in that position since February 1985 and was
the first top officer to have risen from the ranks.
• As of 1987, the National Police and the Gendarmerie
reflected the ideology of the state. Despite their
valuable internal security operations, the roles of
both bodies were restricted by the rising influence of
the Pasdaran and the Basij. The Gendarmerie was
disbanded in 1990.
• The Police–110 unit specializes in rapid-response
activities in urban areas and dispersing gatherings
deemed dangerous to public order. In 2003, some
400 women became the first female members of the
police force since the 1978–79 Revolution.

in cities and some exceptional locations, such as
airports, which they protect with the help of the
customs office (Turkish: Gümrük Muhafaza). Traffic
Police ensure the safety of transportation and also
work with registration of vehicles. The Turkish
Police also play a big part in important intelligence
and counter-terrorist operations.
• The high command of the Turkish Police, situated
in Ankara, is called the General Directorate of
Security (Turkish: Emniyet Genel Müdürlüğü).
Every district also hosts a District Directorate (
Turkish: İl Emiyet Müdürlüğü). The organization
has a centralized hierarchy similar to that of the 
Turkish Armed Forces.

and caps. Patrol cars can be identified using the

 PHILIPPINES
• The Philippine National Police (PNP)
originated from the Philippine
Constabulary or the PC, which was
inaugurated on August 8, 1901,
establishing it as an insular police force
under the American regime.
• On August 8, 1975, Presidential Decree
no. 765 was issued, establishing the
Philippine Constabulary Integrated
National Police or the PC/INP as the
country’s national police force. These
fragmented and diverse local police
units were integrated into a national
police force with the Philippine
Constabulary as its nucleus.
IRAQ
• The current Iraqi Police has some links with the pre-
war Iraqi police service. The prewar police service
was low in repression priority and was professional.
Therefore, the police was expected to remain
cohesive and be a useful instrument also after the
invasion.[2]
• It was intended to form the basis for the police force
of the new Iraq, but the civil disorder caused this
project to be abandoned.[3] Following the emergency
stipend payment, some police came back especially
in Baghdad and the U.S. Army military police
 conducted emergency training.[3] At the same time, in
the south the British forces began to establish local
police forces in coordination with Shiite religious
leaders.[3]
• In the north, Kurdish security forces did not
experience any interruption, and in Mosul a thousand
former police officers were hired by Major General 
David Petraeus in order to maintain the public order.[4]
• After the People’s Revolution in 1986, a new
Constitution was promulgated providing for a
police force, which is “national in scope and
civilian in character.” Consequently, Republic Act
No. 6975 entitled, “An Act Establishing the
Philippine National Police under a Reorganized
Department of the Interior and Local government
(DILG),” was signed into law on December 13,
1990, which took effect on January 1, 1991.
• PNP was operational on January 29, 1991, whose
members were formerly the PC and the INP and
the absorption of the selected members from the
major service units of the Armed Forces of the
Philippines such as the Philippine Air Force
Security Command, the Philippine Coast Guard,
Philippine Navy, and the Philippine Army.
• Thus, to further strengthen the PNP into a highly
efficient and competent police force, Republic Act
No. 8551 entitled “PNP Reform and the
Reorganization Act of 1998” was enacted on
February 17, 1998, amending certain provisions of
Republic Act No. 6975.
• In the meantime, the 
Coalition Provisional Authority worked
with the renewed Ministry of Interior in
order to purge Baathist officials (7,000
police officers fired by Bernard Kerik
 only in Baghdad) and to establish a
police forces in short terms.[5] In the first
four months, the first training course
was launched and over 4,000 officers
were trained.[4] In 2003 recruitment,
applicants were mostly former soldiers
and police officers who served under
the Baathist rule. At the end of 2003,
Iraqi Police formally totalled 50,000
officers.[6]

SYRIAN ARAB REPUBLIC
• On 17 May 2017, the Raqqa Internal
Security Forces (RISF) were established as
new police unit, with the first training
course being set up in Ayn Issa. The first
50 recruits were all Arab men and women,
[8] some of them former members of the
Asayish, and trained by U.S. and Jordanian
instructors "on how to conduct patrols,
diffuse disputes, deal with car bombs and
suicide bombers, and how to man a
checkpoint". After the graduation of this first
batch of police officers, the unit was
gradually expanded, also recruiting Kurds;
the long-term goal for the unit is to have at
least 3,000 members in order to enforce
law and order in Raqqa and restore
stability.

Abu Dhabi Police has taken different designations
over its history and been identified by the
following six names:
• General Headquarters of Abu Dhabi Police
(2004–present)
• General Directorate of Abu Dhabi Police
(1984–2004)
• General Directorate of Police (1977–1984)
• Local Ministry of Interior (Abu Dhabi Police)
(1971–1977)
• Command of Police and Public Security
(1967–1971)
• Department of Police and Public Security
(1957–1966)
Since the formation of the Abu Dhabi Police in
1957, the evolution of the police has occurred in
four primary stages, as follows:
• After the People’s Revolution in 1986, a new
Constitution was promulgated providing for a police
force, which is “national in scope and civilian in
character.” Consequently, Republic Act No. 6975
entitled, “An Act Establishing the Philippine National
Police under a Reorganized Department of the
Interior and Local government (DILG),” was signed
into law on December 13, 1990, which took effect on
January 1, 1991.
• PNP was operational on January 29, 1991, whose
members were formerly the PC and the INP and the
absorption of the selected members from the major
service units of the Armed Forces of the Philippines
such as the Philippine Air Force Security Command,
the Philippine Coast Guard, Philippine Navy, and the
Philippine Army.
• Thus, to further strengthen the PNP into a highly
efficient and competent police force, Republic Act
No. 8551 entitled “PNP Reform and the
Reorganization Act of 1998” was enacted on
February 17, 1998, amending certain provisions of
Republic Act No. 6975.
Foundation stage (1957–1966
• Abu Dhabi Police was formed in
1957 by the then ruler of Abu
Dhabi, Sheikh Shakbut bin Al
Nahyan.
• There were 80 police officers with
tasks that included guarding royal
locations, markets and banks.
They were also required to
monitor boats in the surrounding
waters, as well as bring people
before the ruler that wanted to
voice concerns and have disputes
addressed.
• By 1959 the number of police
officers had grown to more than
150 and the Police Department
was located north of Al-Hosn
Palace in the centre of Abu Dhabi
City.
 Progressive stage (1979–1995)
• This stage was marked by the evolution
of the Abu Dhabi Police toward the
eventual affiliation and merging into the
Federal Ministry of Interior.
• In December 1979, Mubarak bin
Mohamed Al Nahyan, Minister of Interior,
issued a resolution on the executive
procedures for the merger of the General
Headquarters of Abu Dhabi Police into
the Ministry of Interior. The resolution
stipulated that the General Headquarters
of Abu Dhabi Police would be part of the
federal police and security forces
affiliated with the Ministry of Interior and
would be treated as a General
Directorate.
 Modernization, qualitative and
strategic development stage (1995–
present)
• Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan assumed the
role of General Commander of Abu
Dhabi Police in 1995. Embodied in the
five-year plan of the strategic
development of the Abu Dhabi Police
(2004–2008) and the succeeding
Strategic Plan (2008–2012), this stage
has been marked by the modernization
of the police force in the pursuit of
optimum effectiveness and efficiency.
In-particular this stage has witnessed
restructuring and growth of the
organization, development of concise
strategic targets, a focus on employee
development as well as significant
future technology acquisitions, all with
the intention to provide safety, security
and an optimum quality of life for the
community.
