The United States Virgin Islands Police Department is the law enforcement agency for the United States Virgin Islands, and has jurisdiction anywhere in the territory. It is commanded by a commissioner, who is subject to the authority of the governor.[1]

The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force is responsible for policing the British Virgin Islands.

History

Under the 1936 Organic Act of the Virgin Islands,[2] law enforcement was divided between the municipality of St. Thomas and St. John and the municipality of St. Croix, each of which had a separate Police and Prison Department.[3] The 1954 revisions to the Organic Act required that these municipal departments be reorganized as part of a territorial executive branch.[3] The current Virgin Islands Police Department traces its origin to the establishment of the Department of Public Safety, which contained a Police Division, on July 21, 1955.[4] The department was renamed the U.S. Virgin Islands Police Department in 1985.[4]
