National Police Authority (Arab Union)

The National Police Authority (NPA; Arabic: سلطة الشرطة الوطنية sulṭat ash-shurṭah al-waṭanīyah) is a statutory body of the Arab Union which exists in accordance with the 1999 constitution. It is responsible for accrediting the 20 individual National Police agencies of the 20 republics (federated states) of the Arab Union, each of which is the respective republic's primary law enforcement agency. The leadership of the NPA consists of the 20 National Police agencies' respective directors-general; they elect from amongst themselves a chairman, who ultimately reports to the President of the Arab Union as a member of the Presidential Executive Council. The NPA headquarters is located on Tishreen Square in Ibrahimia, Nasser City.

The NPA is primarily an administrative body which liaises between the 20 National Police agencies and the federal government, and as such most of its members are civil servants; however, the NPA does maintain an investigative body staffed by detectives and other constables, which is responsible for enforcing professional standards throughout the National Police services including investigating and prosecuting corruption within National Police ranks.
