      Podređena Ministarstvu unutarnjih poslova, nacionalna policija je organizaciono podijeljena u četiri operativne agencije: Policiju Montevidea, Policiju za ostatak zemlje, Nacionalnu prometnu policiju te Nacionalni vatrogasni korpus. Svaka od ovih agencija je posebna administrativna jedinica koja većinu svojih administrativnih poslova, uključujući prijem policajaca u službu vrši zasebno.

      Subordinate to the Ministry of the Interior, the National Police was organized into four operating agencies: the Montevideo Police, the Interior Police, the National Traffic Police, and the National Corps of Firemen. Each of these agencies was administratively a separate entity, handling most personnel administration, including recruitment, separately.

POLICE ACADEMY  POLICIJSKA AKADEMIJA

      Školovanje policajaca je centralizirano i pod upravom je ministarstva koje nadgleda rad u Policijskoj akademiji. Ova je Akademija osnovana 1936. godine i ima odvojene škole za policajce i za oficire te vrši i razne specijalističke obuke raznih duljina trajanja. Školovanje za policajce (podoficire) traje godinu dana, a za više činove dvije godine.

      Police training was centralized under the administration of the ministry, which oversaw the operation of the Police Training Academy. The academy, established in 1936, had separate schools for officers and cadets and for other ranks. The course for noncommissioned officers ran for one year, and the course for cadets ran for two years. The academy also offered inservice and specialty courses of varying lengths.

POLICE OF MONTEVIDEO  POLICIJA MONTEVIDEA

      Policija Montevidea je podjeljena u pet administrativnih odjela: istrage, javna sigurnost, službe podrške, obavještajne službe te pravna služba. Opertivno su podjeljeni u patrolnu službu, odjel vodiča službenih pasa, javna sigurnost i promet, odjel kriminalističkih istraga te brigada za borbu protiv krijumčarenja. Za razliku od ostalih odjela, krim policija Montevidea vrši istrage na teritoriji cijele zemlje. Od postojećih dvadeset i devet policijskih stanica jedna je samo za prometnu policiju. Uz glavni grad Policija Montevidea djeluje i manjim gradovima i selima koji okružuju glavi grad.

      The Montevideo Police had five administrative divisions: investigation, security, support services, intelligence, and legal affairs. Operationally, it was divided into the patrol services, canine corps, security and traffic bureau, criminal investigation bureau, and antismuggling brigade. The criminal investigation bureau was unique in that it conducted operations nationwide, not just in the capital area. The Montevideo Police maintained twenty-nine police stations, one of which was concerned solely with urban traffic. The Montevideo Police also worked out of police posts in small towns and villages near the capital.

      Nacionalna policija je osnovana 1829. godine, samo godinu nakon što je zemlja stekla nezavisnost. Od 1990-te brojno stanje policije je otprilike 17.500 pripadnika, što predstavlja oko pet policajaca na svakih 1000 građana. Skoro 20% policajaca je angažirano u glavnom gradu, gdje živi skoro polovina stanovništva Urugvaja. Šezdeset posto policajaca je angažirano u ruralnim područjima. U nadležnosti Ministarstva unutarnjih poslova je održavanje sigurnosti na teritoriji cijele zemlje, osim u obalnim djelovima te na plovnim rijekama i jezerima, za koje je zadužena Nacionalna pomorska policija, koja je sastavni dio urugvajske moranirce.

      The National Police was established in 1829, one year after the country gained its independence. At that time, each department was assigned a police chief, similar to the system in modern use. As of 1990, police forces numbered approximately 17,500, a ratio of about five police officers to each 1,000 inhabitants. At least 20 percent of the total was assigned to the capital area, in which about one-half of the country's total population lived. In all, about 40 percent of the police force was assigned to urban areas, and the remainder were assigned to rural settlements. The Ministry of the Interior had the responsibility for ensuring public safety throughout the nation, except for coastal areas and the shores of navigable rivers and lakes, which were the responsibility of the National Maritime Police, under the Uruguayan Navy.
