The General Directorate of Security (Turkish: Emniyet Genel Müdürlüğü) or Turkish Police Organization (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

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.

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

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