The Police of Puerto Rico (PolicĂ­a de Puerto Rico) is the territorial police force for the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, which has jurisdiction anywhere in the territory. It was created to protect the lives and property of Puerto Ricans, and provides police services to the entire island, even though many municipalities maintain their own police force.

The headquarters are located in the Cuartel General (General Stationhouse) at 101 Franklin D. Roosevelt Avenue in the Hato Rey section of San Juan.

The Police of Puerto Rico is known for courage and dignity. Most of them are hard-working, man and woman.
