Law enforcement in Suriname

There are three major law enforcement/security entities in Suriname.

The largest in size and the most published in the media is the Korps Politie Suriname (KPS). This is a traditional police department model and is responsible for all the policing efforts. Under the main umbrella of the KPS, there are three branches.

The second largest military police polices all members of the Surinamese Military and handles border control/immigration functions.

The third largest law enforcement/security entity are the Surinamese Bureau of National Security. The Bureau is responsible for the Central Intelligence and Security Service (CIVD) and the presidential personal security unit.
