Policia Nacional

Policia Nacional is the countrywide police agency of Spain. These forces are under the sole authority of Spain's central government. They handle criminal, judicial, terrorism and immigration matters mostly. However, these forces have limited deployment and competencies in the Basque Country and Catalonia territories, where Ertzaintza (Basque autonomous police) and Mossos d'Esquadra (Catalan autonomous police) respectively, handle most matters.
