The Guam Police Department (Chamorro:Dipåttamenton Polisian Guåhan) is the law enforcement agency for Guam, which has jurisdiction anywhere in the territory. It was created to protect the lives and property of Guamanians.

[edit] History

The Guam Police Department was created in 1949. Prior to this, law enforcement in Guam was handled by the US Navy administered Guam Insular Guard and the civilian run Guam Insular Patrol Force.
