The Somali Police Force (SPF) is the national police force and the main civil law enforcement agency of Somalia. 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 Public Security.

The Police was founded in December 20, 1943 and they are the oldest forces of the Somali Army.

It served from 1960 to 1991 as one of the principal organs of the Somali Armed Forces and upon reorganization distanced itself away from the Armed Forces. While organized 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 888 from any telephone in Somali
