The Orinese Armed Police is an Orinese paramilitary organization. It is Orioni's main law enforcement agency, with jurisdiction throughout the country. This includes cities, large and smaller towns, as well as in rural and border areas. The Orinese Armed Police comes under the jurisdiction of the Council of Home Affairs, and has about 72,400 employees (as of 2024). It is primarily responsible for law enforcement, internal security, and disaster response. Police work is supported by the domestic intelligence branch Akali 11 (Anglish: Component 11), responsible for maintaining internal security. Under certain circumstances it can also be called upon to perform riot control, counter-terrorism, and maritime rights protection. During wartime, it also provides support to the Imperial Orinese Army. For remote islands, there exists a specialised policing unit which can patrol coastal areas of remote islands. They are also able to take action against complaints regarding activities that damage natural maritime resources.

History

The Orinese Armed Police was established in 1952, in response to the growing need for a centralized law enforcement body in Orioni. Initially formed with a focus on urban crime, the force has since expanded its remit to include rural and border security. Major reforms in 1976 and 1994 transformed its structure, adapting to new challenges in law enforcement and internal security. These reforms were largely driven by increasing challenges related to transnational crime and the advent of digital threats, reflecting a shift in the global law enforcement landscape.[1]

Looking forward, the Orinese Armed Police aims to enhance its capabilities in digital crime fighting and improve community relations. There is a focus on adopting new technologies and training methods to better equip the force for future challenges.[2] To this end, a recent initiative led by Commissioner General Marek Kondwani focuses on integrating AI-driven analytics for crime pattern recognition and ethical AI use in surveillance, aiming to balance public safety and privacy rights.
