Law enforcement in Georgia is handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia. This group helps keep people safe and maintain order throughout the country. There are over 42,000 police officers who work to protect communities and support the law. Their efforts are important for helping families and individuals live safely in Georgia.

History

The Georgian police began an emergency dispatch service with the number 022 in 2004. By 2017, people could also dial 112 to reach the emergency dispatch.

Vehicles

Police in Georgia use many types of cars and trucks to help keep people safe. Some of the vehicles they use include models from brands like BMW, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Porsche, Škoda, Toyota, and Volvo.

Weapons

The police in Georgia use special tools to help keep people safe. Some of these tools include the Glock, the Yavuz 16, and the AK-47. These tools are used by trained officers to protect the community.

Restructuring

In the mid-2000s, the police in Georgia changed a lot. In 2005, the president let go of many traffic police because of unfair behavior. A new police force was created with new officers. Help came from the United States for training.

The new police, called Patruli, started in the summer of 2005. Officers got new cars and uniforms, and they were given new tools for their work. Training programs kept helping police officers learn better ways to do their jobs.
