Judicial Police (Arab Union)

It is responsible for preventative and investigative policing at the federal level of government, and serving and executing warrants of the federal courts; the Judicial Police also provide bailiff services and security for federal courthouses, and administer federal prisons. Most actual law enforcement matters are handled by the National Police, the police services of each of the 20 republics (federated states).
