Law enforcement is carried out by 5 types of agency - special police forces (whose jurisdiction generally extends nationwide), non-police law enforcement agencies (who have limited powers relating to their specific duties), military police (whose jurisdiction extends only to members of the armed forces), territorial police forces (whose jurisdiction extends to the country they are attested in) and a number of miscellaneous constabularies (whose jurisdiction is limited to certain areas of land).
