Law enforcement in the Arab Union

Law enforcement in the Arab Union, officially known as the Union of Arab Republics (UAR), is primarily the responsibility of the 20 republics, with the Government of the Arab Union's law enforcement agencies responsible only for operations and investigations which affect two or more republics, territories, or the Arab Union as a whole. As the Arab Union is governed as a federation, of which the 20 republics form the constituent federated states, law enforcement follows a two-tiered system. Each republic has its own Ministry of Interior, which oversees the National Police of the respective republic; the Ministry of Interior also oversees other security agencies, as well as corrections. The National Police of a particular republic is responsible for law enforcement at the republican level, and each of the council areas (municipalities) of a republic has a detachment of the National Police responsible for local policing, the director of which is accountable both to the municipal government via a police board, and the Director-General of the National Police.
