The Royal Malaysia Police (often abbreviated RMP) (Malay: Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM); Jawi: ڤوليس دراج مليسيا‎), is a (primarily) uniformed national and federal police force in Malaysia. The force is a centralised organisation, and its headquarters are located at Bukit Aman, Kuala Lumpur. The police force is led by an Inspector-General of Police (IGP) who, as of 23 June 2023, is Razarudin Husain.

The constitution, control, employment, recruitment, funding, discipline, duties and powers of the police force are specified and governed by the Police Act 1967.

The RMP constantly co-operates with police forces worldwide, including from those six neighbouring countries Malaysia shares a border with: Indonesian National Police, Philippine National Police,[1] Royal Brunei Police Force,[2] Royal Thai Police,[3] Singapore Police Force[4] and Vietnam People's Public Security.[5][6]

There are currently more than 130,000 sworn officers under the Royal Malaysian Police. The RMP often works closely with other law enforcement agencies in the country such as the customs department, immigration department, maritime enforcement agency and many more.
