Provođenje zakona u Kataru je pod jurisdikcijom Ministartsva unutarnjih poslova, osnovnog 1970. godine. 2006godine je bilo oko 2500 policijskih službenika (žena i muškaraca) koji svi prje prijema moraju završiti policijsku akademiju. Prva policijska agencija je osnovana 1949. godine kao „Disciplinska policija“, sa sjedištem u Souq Waqif-u. Danas su policijske snage raspoređene u cijeli niz odjela, da nabrojim samo neke: Ured za suradnju sa Interpolom, kriminalistička služba, istražni odjeli, odjel za borbu protiv nedozvoljene trgovine drogom, medicinski odjel, civilna zaštita, ljudski resursi, prometna služba itd.

      Law enforcement in Qatar comes under the control of the Ministry of Interior of Qatar, which administers the Police Force of the State of Qatar. The Ministry of Internal Affairs was created in 1970. Both women and men are admitted to the Police Force, and they are required to attend a police academy before being admitted. In 2006, the Police Force comprised 2,500 individuals. The first police agency in Qatar was formed in September 1949 as the 'Discipline Police'. It was centered in the Doha Police Station in Souq Waqif. Its duties involved traffic control and law enforcement. Now the Police Force consists of a large number of divisions and departments. Departments which encompass the Police Force include a National Central Bureau of Interpol, criminal intelligence departments, investigation and inquest departments, drug abuse control departments, civil defense departments, human resources departments, medical departments, and traffic police departments.
