Jerusalem District Police (Hebrew: משטרת מחוז ירושלים) is a regional district command of the Israel Police. It is considered one of the oldest police commands in Israel.
Jerusalem's police history goes back to the British Mandate and before that to the administration of Ottoman Syria.
The Jerusalem District's current boundaries include municipal Jerusalem as well as suburbs in Greater Jerusalem including Beit Shemesh, Mevasseret Zion, Abu Gosh, Kiryat Yearim, Givat Ze'ev and other regional councils.
There are 734,000 people within the jurisdiction, approximately 68% of them Jewish, 28% Muslim and 2% Christian.
