The Gassasinian National Police is the national civilian police force of Gassasinia, responsible for usual police fighting crime, maintaining public safety and order, investigating and tacking criminal groups throughout Gassasinia, along with protection of the constitution and its' values, counter-terrorism and monitoring of extremist political groups. Formed in 1978 by the National Police Act, the National Police was formed to be a new impartial and reformed police force, integrating controversial affirmative action policies to help alleviate the dominance of Sotirians amongst the ranks of the police, while disassociating itself from the repression of the Royal Police, who during the civil war had endorsed and maintained several far-right paramilitaries.
Although today there is a disproportionate amount of Sotirian officers amongst the ranks of the National Police - especially in the upper echelons - Sotirians only make up about 45% of the National Police's manpower, whereas as much as 75% of the officers of the old Royal Police were Sotirians at the time of its' disbanding.

Uniforms
The standard uniform of the National Police consists of a baby blue colour shirt worn with a black bulletproof vest and trousers, black unbloused boots, along with a webbing material duty belt upon which the police officer generally carries two pairs of handcuffs, a baton, his handgun, two magazines and a personal radio, along with other personal equipment. Each officer wears either a black peaked cap or a bowler hat featuring blue and white chequering around the brim, and women have the option of a white headscarf for religious purposes. On either shoulder-loop of the shirt there are a pair of black epaulettes which have the rank insignia and officer number, along with a This rank insignia and officer number is also displayed on the right breast of the shirt, and similarly in the same place on the bulletproof vest.
This uniform replaced the old Royal Police uniform, which was originally entirely dark navy coloured with a blue beret, which was felt to be way too militaristic and threatening. To help improve the image of the new National Police, the uniform was redesigned to have a much less threatening appearance. In particular, the position of the gun and baton on the belt were both re-positioned further more to the back as to make the gun less visible, which is believed to make officers feel much more approachable.
Vehicles
Police cars in Gassasinia generally feature a livery with a white base. Running horizontally across the car is a pair of light blue retro-reflective stripes. On either far-end of the side of the car, the stripes are disrupted by red bold text reading "NATIONAL POLICE شرطة وطنية" on the front-bumper end of the liver, and "911 ٩١١" towards the rear-bumper end. Each vehicle is equipped with a set of red and blue emergency lights, and a set of Whelen Engineering Company sirens.
Each vehicle features a run-lock ignition, allowing a car to run the lights with the key out. Furthermore, each vehicle is equipped with a long-range internal radio and PA system to contact dispatch and make verbal announcements. In the boot, each vehicle carries a locked rear-compartment carrying a long-rifle, a shotgun, a first-aid kit, specialised tools, traffic cones and other important equipment.
There is currently a program in place intended to equip police vehicles with Mobile Data Terminals designed and built by Hacohen Microsystems. Since the start of the program in 2017, all Highway and Traffic Patrol vehicles have been equipped with Mobile Data Terminals.
The most common models of vehicles used by the National Police are generally a mix of common police vehicles as found in Euclea and Asteria Superior including but not limited to Crown Victorias, Land Rover Discoveries and Defenders, Mitsubishi Pajeros and Skoda Octavias.
