Poliția Română

The Romanian Police serves as the primary civil law enforcement agency in the country and operates directly as a subordinate branch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.The ministry oversees several key security and enforcement branches across the nation, which include:

- The Romanian Police: Responsible for basic public order, criminal investigations, and community safety.
- The Romanian Border Police: Tasked with guarding state borders and stopping illegal migration.
- The Romanian Gendarmerie: A military-status branch focused on high-risk public order, crowd control, and protecting vital state institutions.

The General Inspectorate of Aviation (IGAv) serves as the official air branch of the Romanian Ministry of Internal Affairs. This specialized military unit manages five regional flight bases in Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Iași, Tulcea, and Caransebeș to provide fast nationwide coverage. Working tightly under the country's Department for Emergency Situations (DSU), the agency carries out important humanitarian, public safety, and border monitoring flights. It regularly works alongside the Mobile Emergency Service for Resuscitation and Extrication (SMURD) to fly life-saving medical transport missions. To handle these diverse duties, the unit is modernizing its emergency response capabilities by actively growing its fleet with advanced equipment, including specialized Airbus helicopters and tactical transport aircraft.

The air unit splits its missions to help the other ministry branches in a few major ways:

- Law Enforcement Support: They fly aerial surveillance and tactical security missions to help the Romanian Police spot trouble from above.
- Border Controls: They look out for illegal crossings to help the Romanian Border Police secure the nation's edges.
- Emergency Rescues: They work closely with firefighting and medical teams to handle disaster relief, mountain rescues, and life-saving flights
