The Kosovo Police is the national policing law enforcement agency of Kosovo. It was established in 1999 and took its current form with the 2008 police law. It consists of five departments and eight regional directorates and is represented at the political level by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Public Administration of the Republic of Kosovo. After the end of the Kosovo War, policing in Kosovo was conducted by the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) and KFOR. According to the UN Security Council Resolution 1244, UNMIK had a mandate to establish a new police force in Kosovo, and in the meantime, to maintain civil law and order. The predecessor of the Kosovo Police, the Kosovo Police Service (KPS; Albanian: Shërbimi Policor i Kosovës) was established on 6 September 1999, with the admission of the first 176 cadets of the KPS into the Police School of Vushtrria. The school was renovated by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), which additionally trained the first cadets, establishing a training regime based on Western standards. KPS was subordinated to UNMIK and the UNMIK police commissioner retained command authority over both the international police and KPS. Its name was chosen by the first international police commissioner in Kosovo, Sven Frederiksen. In February 2008, after Kosovo declared its independence, the force became a governmental agency of the Government of the Republic of Kosovo and was renamed the Kosovo Police (KP; Albanian: Policia e Kosovës). The Kosovo Police is overseen by Kosovo's Ministry of the Interior and its mandate is regulated by the Constitution and the law on police. The Kosovo Police has grown steadily since 1999, and in 2004 reached its planned full size of nearly 7,000 officers.
SHPK is also known as CARKL, SHK.
