Law enforcement in Romaia is centralized on a national level, carried out by multiple national forces, helped by few limited local agencies. The Romaian law enforcement system is considered complex, with multiple police forces and other agencies taking part in different duties. Policing in the Romaian system refers to the duties of "full-powered officers" coming from the three national main forces: National Police, National Gendarmerie and Customs . While the duties of these three corps' include investigating arresting, other local forces carry out limited duties.

The two main police forces in the country are the Chorofylaki, the national gendarmerie, as well as the Ethniki Astynomia, the civil national police. The third one is the Teloneio, a police force responsible for dealing with financial crime, smuggling, illegal drug trade, and others. The main forces are managed and organized on a departmental level under the authority of the Chef in accordance with the provincial representative of the Government.

Border and Maritime patrolling are undertaken by the Customs and Gendarmerie. The Penitentionary Administration is the national prison police agency, controlling penitentiaries and inmate transfers. Although policing in Italy is primarily provided on a national basis, there also exists municipal police.

National police forces

National police

The National Police is the civil national police of Romaia. Along with patrolling, investigative and law enforcement duties, it patrols motorways, and oversees the security of railways, bridges, and waterways.

It is a civilian police force, while the Chorofylaki is military. While its internal organization and mindset are somewhat military, its personnel is composed of civilians. Its headquarters are in Constantinoupoli, and there are Regional and Departamental divisions throughout Romaia.

National gendarmerie

The Chorofylaki is the common name for the Ethniki Chorofylaki, a gendarmerie-like military corps with police duties. They also serve as the military police for the Romaian Armed Forces and can be called upon for national defence action.

The Chorofylaki have become a separate armed force (alongside the Army, Navy and the Air Force), thus ending their long-standing tradition as the First Corps of the Romaian Army.

Having both military police duties and civil police duties, the Chorofylaki is usually called on duty as riot police during big events and demonstrations.
