The General Directorate of Security (Turkish: Emniyet Genel Müdürlüğü) or Turkish Police Service (Turkish: Türk Polis Teşkilatı) is the national civilian police force responsible for law enforcement of the Republic of Turkey, which is affiliated with the Ministry of Interior.

## Structure[edit]

In the provinces, it operates under the command of governors (Turkish: vali) and district governors (Turkish: kaymakam). Civil administrators (Turkish: mülki amir) are responsible for the security and well-being of towns and districts. The Turkish National Police (TNP) operates within the network of the civil administration system and carries out its duties under the command and control of the civil authority. Town governors and heads of district administrations supervise the force.[2]

The TNP is organised as follows:[3]

* Central organisation

## Function and mission[edit]

Provincial Police Headquarters in Ordu

In general, the police's realm of responsibility is geographically located inside the municipal boundaries in Turkey. In accordance with the “Law on Duties and Powers of the Police”, the duties of the Police are to:[5]

* provide public peace and order
* provide security of persons and properties
* detect, arrest and transfer both offenders and case evidence to the appropriate judicial bodies
* perform duties apart from the administrative such as judicial assigned by laws, regulations and government acts
* prevent crime in order to protect public safety and order

The TNP also has political duties such as the protection of the integrity of the state and the preservation of constitutional order. Furthermore, the TNP has administrative functions, including preventive, protective and assistance duties.

A Traffic Services Department, a Highways Traffic Security Council and a Supreme Board for Highway Security have been established in order to deal with traffic problems more effectively.

The TNP hosts the Istanbul Conference on Democracy and Global Security.[6]

## Units[edit]

All Turkish police officers wear navy-blue uniforms and caps.

Patrol cars can be identified by their unique blue-white design and the writing “Polis” (Turkish for 'Police') on the side doors and hood.

Commissioners and police chiefs wear silver stars rank on their shoulders and police directors wear gold stars.
