A Chief Constable (Arabic: رئيس الشرطة raʾīs ash-shurṭah) is the ninth and highest commissioned rank of the National Police of the Arab Union. There is one Chief Constable in the entire Arab Union, answerable directly to the Minister of Interior. Within each of the republics of the Arab Union, the Kurdistan Autonomous Region and the Nasseria Capital District, a single Deputy Chief Constable exists, each responsible for a particular of the National Police's 22 Regional Commands. At the level of a district, the intermediate administrative level between the baladiyāt (municipalities) and the governorates (republic-wide administration), a single Chief Superintendant leads the National Police command of a district, with a single superintendent in charge of each command at the level of each baladiyah.

Each governorate/republic has a governor-appointed Deputy Minister of the Interior, who answers directly to the federal government's Minister of Interior and is responsible for overseeing the internal security apparatus of their republic, including the National Police apparatus operating within said republic. As such, the deputy chief constables of each command report directly to their governorate's Deputy Minister of the Interior, who is the highest-ranking security official within their specific republic.
