Capital Police (Arab Union)

The Capital Police Service (Arabic: خدمة شرطة العاصمة khidmat shurṭat al-‘āṣimah) is a law enforcement agency of the Arab Union. Directly answerable to the Prime Minister, the Capital Police has two primary responsibilities: 1) serving as the local police for Nasser City, the federal capital of the Arab Union, which is separate from the 20 republics (federated states) which constitute the union; and 2) ensuring the safety and security of the Prime Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister and the Council of Ministers (the federal government) both within and outside the capital.
