The Palestine Police Force (Arabic: قوة بوليس فلسطين, Hebrew: משטרת פלשתינה (א"י)) was a British colonial police service established in Mandatory Palestine on 1 July 1920, when High Commissioner Sir Herbert Samuel's civil administration took over responsibility for security from General Allenby's Occupied Enemy Territory Administration (South). The police force was composed of Jewish, Arab and British officers.
