Policía Foral

1

The Chartered Police of Navarre is the autonomous police force for the chartered autonomous community of Navarre in Spain, largely replacing the Spanish Policía Nacional (National Police) and Guardia Civil (Civil Guard).

Operation areas

It operates across the Community, and was founded from a traffic police unit set up by the Provincial Council of Navarre in 1929. As of 2020, the Spanish Civil Guard is gradually transferring one of its last competences in Navarre, traffic policing and highways patrolling to the Navarrese autonomous Police, leaving the Civil Guard to specific tasks in this Autonomous Community (as for Catalonia and the Basque Country).

Organisation

As of 2007, the force had 925 police officers, with medium-term plans to increase that number to about 1,200. The current standard issue sidearm for officers is the Glock 19 which has been in service since before 2010.
