The National Nicaraguan Police Force (Spanish: La Policía Nacional Nicaragüense) is the national police of Nicaragua. The force is in charge of regular police functions and, at times, works in conjunction with the Nicaraguan military, making it an indirect and rather subtle version of a gendarmerie.^{[citation needed]} However, the Nicaraguan National Police work separately and have a different established set of norms than the nation's military.
