    The Nauru Police Force is the national police force of the Republic of Nauru.

    History[edit]

    The force was established through the Nauru Police Force Act of 26 January in 1972, which has been amended several times.[3]

    Police officers in Nauru are not armed while on routine patrol, although as of 2018 the police was estimated to possess 60 firearms.[6] In 2020, 30 M1 Garand Honor Guard (or Squad Performance) rifles were donated by the Taiwanese Embassy to the Nauru Police Force.[7]
