New England National Police

The New England National Police is the federal and national police service of New England. The NENP provides law enforcement at the federal level and is one of several federal law enforcement agencies. It also provides local policing in several of New England's states and security policing services within several federal facilitates. New England National Police officers do not regularly operate in many areas of the country; however, all members of the NENP have jurisdiction as a peace officer in all parts of New England.

The NENP is responsible for a large breadth of duties. Under their federal mandate, the NENP police throughout New England. Federal operations include: enforcing federal laws including commercial crime, counterfeiting, drug trafficking, border integrity, organized crime, and other related matters; providing counter-terrorism and domestic security, and participating in various international policing efforts.

As New England's national police force, the NENP is primarily responsible for enforcing federal laws throughout New England while general law and order including the enforcement of the criminal code and applicable state and local legislation is the responsibility of the states. Larger cities also often form their own municipal police departments and counties maintain sheriffs offices. Under its National Utility branch the NENP supports all police forces in New England via the New England National Police Database, Forensic Science Center of New England, the National Firearms Registry of New England and the National Police Academy.
