The Bosnian Police consists of thirteen sub-state territorial police forces and two specialist state-level police forces.[1] Each of the two entities, the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republika Srpska has their own police force. In the latter, this is a central force covering the whole entity, in the former a specialist force covering specific crimes and those crimes that cross internal, Cantonal, borders. In the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, there are ten Cantonal police forces, each under a Cantonal Ministry of the Interior. The District of Brčko, in Northeast Bosnia, also has its own police force. At the level of the central state, Bosnia and Herzegovina also has a police agency focused on Counter Terrorism, Organised Crime and crime crossing international borders, the State Investigation and Protection Agency (SIPA), and a State Border Service. Although agreement was reached on unifying the police forces, much like the armies were unified, it has yet to be realised.[2]
