National and Federal Law Enforcement Agencies

The Border Police of North Macedonia, in Macedonian the Granicna policija, is a legal police unit that monitors and protects the borders of North Macedonia. The English Wikipedia article records that on 21 April 2015 it faced about 40 armed men wearing National Liberation Army patches, who attacked a border police station at Gosince near the Kosovo border; four policemen were captured and were later released. The article also lists the unit's vehicle fleet, which includes Land Rover Defender jeeps, Ford vehicles and Mercedes buses and minibuses, and it links the unit to the wider Police of North Macedonia and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is recorded here as a criminal justice institution.
