      Nizozemska policija se sastoji od 25 regionalnih i jedne Nacionalne policije (the National Police Services Agency (KLPD)). Svakom od 25 regionalnih policija rukovodi odbor sastavljen od gradonačelnika i glavnog javnog tužitelja. Nacionalnom policijom rukovodi Ministar unutrašnjih poslova (od 01. 01. 2000.) On je, zajedno sa ministrom pravde, odgovoran za rad policije u Nizozemskoj. Ujedno je i šef svakoj od regionalnih policijskih snaga, ali u principu se umiješa samo kada je to stvarno potrebno. Nacionalna policija KLPD vrši i specijalne policijske zadatke, kao i sakupljanje, analiziranje, upravljanje i distribuiranje informacija. Zaduženi su i za čuvanje kraljevske familije i ostalih važnih osoba. Nacionalna policija ima i zadatak nabave oružja, uniformi i ostale opreme.

      The Dutch police consists of 25 regional police forces and the National Police Services Agency (KLPD). Each of the Netherlands' 25 police regions is headed by a regional police board, consisting of mayors and a chief public prosecutor. The KLPD is headed by the Minister of the Interior and Kingdom Relations (since 1 January 2000). He is responsible (with the Minister of Justice) for the overall quality of policing in the Netherlands. He also heads each of the regional police forces 'at arm's length' - meaning that he limits his interventions in principle to what is strictly necessary. The KLPD carries out national and specialist police tasks. It collects, files, processes, manages, analyses and distributes information, and carries out other support tasks. It guards the Royal Family and other important persons. And it procures police weaponry, uniforms, and other equipment.
