==History==
Although the history of [[Law enforcement in Cyprus]] goes back to 1879 when the first Police Law was passed by the then British Colonial Government, which operated a mounted gendarmerie force known as the [[Cyprus Military Police]], the history of the Cyprus Police begins with the establishment of the Republic of Cyprus in 1960.

In 1960 two Public Security Forces were established within the framework of the Constitution: the Police Force, which was responsible for policing the [[urban area]]s, and the [[Gendarmerie]], which was responsible for policing [[rural]] areas. A Greek-Cypriot Chief and a Turkish-Cypriot Chief administered the two Forces respectively.<ref>Cyprus Police Official Website{{cite web

}}</ref>

The two forces of the police were joined to form the present police service during the year 1964, shortly after the [[Cyprus crisis of 1963–64|intercommunal troubles]] between the Greek and the Turkish communities, as a result of which the Turkish Cypriot officers abandoned their posts.<ref name = "portal"/> Additionally the conflict created great problems for the police, who had to handle the situation, along with the then sparsely manned Cypriot Army, because it was the only organized force.

With the creation of the [[Cypriot National Guard]] in 1964, the duties of military nature were transferred to the National Guard and the police was limited back to its usual duties.<ref name = "portal2">Κυβερνητική Πύλη Διαδικτύου{{cite web

The Cyprus Police has one Division for each district of Cyprus. Under this divisions are the Police Stations but also within each Police Division, branches can be created similar to the branches of the Police Headquarters. For example, there is a Headquarters Drug Law Enforcement Service but also a Nicosia, Limassol etc. Drug Law Enforcement Service. Other examples include Headquarters Criminal Investigation Department (C.I.D.)- Larnaca, Nicosia, Limassol etc. C.I.D. and Headquarters Traffic Department  - Nicosia, Limassol etc. Traffic Department . The difference is that the Headquarters units/services etc. operate throughout the territory of the Cyprus Republic while the divisional (provincial) units/services operate mostly within the District that are located.<ref>Cyprus Police Official Website {{cite web | title = Nicosia Police Division | url = http://www.police.gov.cy/police/police.nsf/dmllefkosia_en/dmllefkosia_en?OpenDocument | access-date = 31 Jan 2012 | archive-date = 10 February 2012 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120210183835/http://www.police.gov.cy/police/police.nsf/dmllefkosia_en/dmllefkosia_en?OpenDocument | url-status = dead }}</ref>

===Vehicles===

====Markings====
Cyprus Police cars are white with a blue stripe that goes around the car. On both sides they have printed on them the words ''POLICE'' and {{lang|el|ΑΣΤΥΝΟΜΙΑ}}, which means Police in Greek. They also have the logo of the Cyprus Police, usually on the front doors and also have printed on them the Police's website ''www.police.gov.cy''. An exception to this is some of the cars used by the Neighbourhood Police that have the Neighbourhood Police logo instead of the Cyprus Police Logo. On the front part of the car they have again the logo with the words ''POLICE'' and {{lang|el|ΑΣΤΥΝΟΜΙΑ}} and at the back they could have, depending on the model of the car and the space available, the words Police in Greek and English or just the Cyprus Police insignia or both. On the roof they have printed a distinct number for each one as [[aerial roof markings]].

In 2011 a trial version for new markings was used on an old Opel Vectra patrol car. These were half-[[Battenburg markings]] with a highly reflective blue-yellow stripe on the sides instead of the solid blue stripe. Additionally the back was covered in reflective yellow-red diagonal stripes and had printed the emergency phone number 112. The front part on the hood of the car had the words {{lang|el|ΑΣΤΥΝΟΜΙΑ}} and ''POLICE'' printed inverted so that they would appear correctly when seen through a mirror. These markings were not enforced.

In 2012 new markings were enforced were the blue stripe although still solid was replaced with a highly reflective one, and the rear horizontal line was replaced from a solid blue stripe to a blue-white diagonal line similar to the rear usually found on vehicles with Battenburg markings.

The Cyprus Police also uses [[Patrol car#Functional types|unmarked vehicles]]. Unmarked vehicles are not necessarily covert to be used for undercover work. Most unmarked cars are the same models as the patrol cars and they are mostly used by plain clothed officers such as crime investigators, crime prevention squads, technicians etc. Most of these cars are fitted with sirens and can be seen in the streets with detachable strobe lights.
