The Puntland Police Force (PPF; Af Soomaali : Ciidanka Booliska Puntland (CBP); {{lang-ar|ققوة شرطة بونتلاند}) is the state police force and the main civil law enforcement agency of Puntland. As with most other police forces in the world, its duties include crime fighting, traffic control, maintaining public safety, counter-terrorism. It is under the jurisdiction of the Minister of Security.
It served from 1998 to now as one of the principal organs of the Puntland Armed Forces and upon reorganisation distanced itself away from the Armed Forces. While organised at a national level, each arm reports to a county police authority, which in turn divides its force by local Police Divisions, headquartered at local police stations; the police force was later reconstituted at the start of the 21st century.
In an emergency, the police can be reached by dialing 999 from any telephone in Puntland.[1]
