(Romanian) Poliţia de Frontieră

The Romanian Border Police (Romanian: Poliţia de Frontieră) is the structure of the Romanian Ministry of Administration and Interior responsible for the border security and passport control at border crossing points, airports and ports.[1]

Ranks

The Border Police uses the same ranking system as the Romanian Police (see Romanian Police#Ranks)

Future prospects

Although the former Interior Minister Cristian David declared that the Border Police would be gradually integrated into the National Police until 2010[2] or 2011[3], when Romania is expected to join the Schengen Agreement, the Border Police keeps its current status and remains the sole agency tasked with border security and passport control.
