Law enforcement in the United Arab Emirates
Law enforcement is the responsibility of each emirate of the UAE; each emirate's police force is responsible for matters within their own borders, but they routinely share information with each other on various areas. The forces also each have units to deal with protests, riot control or heavily armed suspects.
Crimes against national security will be referred to the Federal Courts. There is also close cooperation between the law enforcement and the military.
The police in the UAE come under the Ministry of Interior and are also responsible for maintaining the prisons and the arm responsible for this is the Corrections Department. Under this Ministry, is also the Immigration Department.
