(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, with different colors. (see Romanian Police)
Before 2002, the Border Police had military status and a military ranking system, within the Ministry of Administration and Interior (see Romanian Armed Forces ranks and insignia). In June 2002 it became a civilian police force, together with the National Police (the first police service in Eastern Europe to do so) and its personnel was structured into two corps:
- Corpul ofiţerilor de poliţie (Police Officers Corps) - corresponding to the commissioned ranks of a military force, to the ranks of Inspector, Superintendent and Commissioner in a British-style police force or to the both Corps de conception et de direction and Corps de commande et d'encadrement in the French National Police (Police Nationale).

Future prospects
Although the former Interior Minister Cristian David declared that the Border Police would be gradually integrated into the National Police until 2010[5] or 2011,[6] when Romania was expected to join the Schengen Area, the Border Police keeps its current status and remains the sole agency tasked with border security and passport control.
