The Namibian Police Force replaced the South West African Police as the national police force of the country in 1990. Sebastian Ndeitunga was its inspector general since 2005 to 2022. Joseph Shikongo is the current inspector general. [1] NAMPOL's functions are overseen by the Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security.[2]
