Lebanon National Police

The Lebanon National Police (Arabic: الشرطة الوطنية اللبنانية) is the civilian law enforcement agency of the Lebanese Arab Republic. It has jurisdiction over regular policing at the municipal, district and governorate level, and also has a department responsible for law enforcement at the republican (Lebanon-wide) level. The Joint Security Committee (Emni) of the Arab Union's federal government generally handles only law enforcement matters with a federal, union-wide scope, as well as the investigation of serious criminal activity like drug trafficking and other organised crime as well as matters of national security. The Lebanon National Police also has a division dedicated to narcotics and organised crime which frequently works alongside Emni agents.
