Metropolitan Police (Arab Union)

The Metropolitan Police (Arabic: الشرطة المتروبوليتانية ash-shurṭah al-mitrūbūlītānīyah) is the official civilian law enforcement agency of Ibrahimia, the federal capital city of the Arab Union. The Metropolitan Police gets its name from the constitutional name of Ibrahimia (the Metropolitan Arab Republic), as the federal capital is considered a federated state equal to the 20 republics of the Arab Union. Like the respective National Police of each republic, the Metropolitan Police is responsible for all matters of law enforcement, security and public order not under the jurisdiction of the federal government. While the entire physical area of Ibrahimia is technically under Metropolitan Police jurisdiction, the Territorial Police and other federal agencies handle policing and security on federal government property. The Territorial Police is the only other uniformed police service operating in the capital city; the two forces can be distinguished primarily by the colour of their cap band and pantleg stripe, which is yellow for officers of the Territorial Police but red for the Metropolitan Police.
