Beta:Law enforcement in Montenegro
Law enforcement in Montenegro is primarily the responsibility of the Montenegro Civil Police, a law enforcement agency under the authority of the Montenegro Ministry of Internal Affairs. Headquartered in Podgorica, the Montenegro Civil Police, with its 8,000 armed officers, provides security for a government that in recent years has been in fear of destabilisation.[1]
Organisation
All agencies of the Montenegro Civil Police report to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Aviation Unit
Montenegro's Civil Police Aviation Unit forms part of the Montenegro Government Aviation Unit, and purchased its first aircraft in 1972, with three more SA341 Gazelles transferred from the military airforce in the 1990s[2] The aviation unit was further enforced during friction between the police, government forces and the nation of nearby Serbia. All helicopters are based at Golubovci Airport, Podgorica.[3]
