The '''Volkian Federal Police (VFP)''' ([[Volkian language|Volkian]]: Волкскийская федеральная полиция (ВФП), tr. ''Volkskiyskaya federal'naya politsiya)'' is the national and principal law enforcement agency of the [[Federal government of Volkia|Volkian Federal Government]], being subordinate to the [[Ministry of Internal Affairs (Volkia)|Ministry of Internal Affairs]]. As of February 2019 the commissioner of the Volkian Federal Police is Fyodor Kondakov, the former Chief of the Volkgoroda Metropolitan Police Department.
 
The VFP has a wide variety of duties. The agency is primarily responsible for preventing, investigating, and disrupting {{wp|transnational crime|international}}, serious, complex, and {{wp|organized crime|organized crime}} including terrorism, violent extremism, cybercrime, drug smuggling, and sapient being trafficking. It is also responsible for border protection, railroad and aviation security, protection of federal witnesses, and protection of certain federal institutions. It also has the capacity to provide various specialty units to local and provincial law enforcement within Volkia. While the agency has nationwide jurisdiction, the VFP is not responsible for community policing, as that falls under the responsibility of local and provincial law enforcement agencies. In cases when new territory is added to Volkia, the VFP would provide community policing in those areas.
 
== History ==
Prior to 1973, the Volkian Federal Police's duties were split across several agencies. Following the passage of the Volkian Federal Police Act of 1972, the agency was originally intended to be used as a protective force, transportation police, border security, drug interdiction, and combating public corruption. Public corruption in particular was a hot button issue with Volkians following the impeachment of former [[President of Volkia|president]] [[Matvei Lukyanov]]. The agency was involved in the arrest of the former president and maintained custody of him until his conviction, at which point he was turned over to federal prison authorities.
 
Today the VFP is a multi-faceted agency with numerous responsibilities and works closely with local law enforcement when necessary as well as with international law enforcement partners.
