The National Police of the Principality of Liechtenstein (German: Landespolizei des Fürstentums Liechtenstein),[a] is the national police force of Liechtenstein. It is composed of 125 employees, with 91 officers and 34 staff (excluding the Security Corps),[1] who police the 160 km2 (62 sq mi) doubly landlocked alpine state in Western-Central Europe.[3] The current chief of police is Jules Hoch, since 2013.[4]
Bordered by Switzerland to its west, and Austria to its east,[5] Liechtenstein maintains a trilateral treaty which enables close cross-border co-operation between the police services of the three states. Liechtenstein is also a member of Interpol, and a signatory to a variety of other treaties.[6][7]
