The Force is part of and extremely active in both Europol and Interpol. In the recent years the force has been involved in international crime much more than years past.[2]
Along with serving in Slovakia, the Force along with the Customs Administration of the Slovak Republic has been active in neighbouring European countries as well, including Austria, Hungary and Poland.
The independent police force in Slovakia was established on 1 March 1991 under the name of Police Force of the Slovak Republic (Slovak: Policajný zbor Slovenskej republiky) by renaming the Slovak part of the Public Security (Slovak: Verejná bezpečnosť).
After the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in the end of 1992, the agency was renamed to Police Force (Slovak: Policajný zbor) in effect from 1 September 1993.[3][4] However, in its logo, the old name has still been used.
Typical SPF uniforms consist of a black or dark green beret. The vest, shirt or jacket will have Polícia scripted on the reverse. A tactical belt and black slacks follow. Black combat boots or shoes depending on region or rank.
Weather also plays a key role, officers typically opt for short sleeves in summer and spring and long sleeve or jackets during the winter months. Uniforms are typically unisex and do not vary from male to female.
