All-Union Police Service

The All-Union Police Service (Arabic: خدمة شرطة عموم الاتحاد khidmat shurṭat ‘umūm al-ittiḥād) is the main law enforcement agency of the federal government of the Arab Union, answerable to the Attorney-General of the Arab Union and part of the Ministry of Attorney-General hierarchy. It is responsible for most federal policing matters, from conducting investigations at the federal level or involving two or more of the 20 republics of the Arab Union, serving federally-issued warrants, and enforcing criminal law as per the direction of the Attorney-General. The Joint Security Committee, the country's premier security agency which is directly answerable to the Prime Minister of the Arab Union, also has a directorate responsible for law enforcement, which may take on federal criminal investigations and operations at its discretion; nevertheless, most federal law enforcement matters are handled by the All-Union Police.
