National Police of Equatorial Guinea

The National Police of Equatorial Guinea is the country's primary law enforcement agency, responsible for maintaining public order, preventing crime, and ensuring the safety of citizens. Established to support the government's efforts in law enforcement, the police are tasked with various duties, including traffic control, criminal investigations, and border security. They operate under the Ministry of National Defense and have a vital role in upholding national security. However, the police force has faced criticism for its human rights practices and limited transparency, reflecting the broader challenges within the country's governance and rule of law.
