Security and Prevention

Municipal service geared towards administrative police functions.

In Lisboa, it depends hierarchically on the mayor. Police functions are carried out by officers of the Public Security Police (PSP), subject to their general rules of hierarchy and command.

National public security forces contribute to ensuring internal security: Republican National Guard (GNR); Public Security Police (PSP); Criminal Police (PJ); Immigration and Borders Service (SEF); and Security Information Service (SIS).

The National Maritime Authority (AMN) and the National Aeronautical Authority (AAN) also perform security functions.
