International Law Enforcement Abbreviations and Acronyms

Below you will find an alphabetical listing of a wide variety of abbreviations and acronyms used by various police and law enforcement personnel, special police units, as well as other groups working to make communities safer around the world.

While certain "insider" terms and lingo are used and recognized almost exclusively within law enforcement, other terms have gained wider acceptance and entered the vernacular of the general public.

NOTE: Not all of the groups listed below are still active, while others may have taken on new monikers. Be aware that some of these abbreviations and acronyms may have completely different meanings in different locales. If no location is offered for a group or organization, this usually means it exists in several locations around the world.

PUNCTUATION NOTE: We're cognizant of the fact that some of the organizations listed below fail to use proper punctuation in their names. Rather than correcting this, we present their names as they normally refer to themselves.
