Egyptian National Police

The Egyptian National Police (Arabic: الشرطة الوطنية المصرية ash-shurṭah al-waṭanīyah al-maṣrīyah) is the primary law enforcement agency of the Egyptian Arab Republic, the most populous republic of the Arab Union, and the union's largest civilian police force by both number of personnel and budget size. The Egyptian National Police is headed by a director-general who answers to Egypt's Minister of Interior.

The Egyptian National Police is responsible for all law enforcement activities at the republican, governorate and district administrative levels, and contracts with 488 of Egypt's 505 municipalities to provide municipal policing and maintain a local police station (the remaining 17 municipalities have their own civilian police departments, including Cairo; the National Police, however, retains jurisdiction in such municipalities concerning administratively higher levels of policing, such as investigation and disruption of organised crime and drug trafficking).
