Policia de la Generalitat, Regional police headquarters in Pont de Fusta, Valencia, Spain.
Policia de la Generalitat is a regional police force with its main headquarters in Valencia, operating through three provincial divisions across Valencia, Alicante, and Castellón. The force handles public order and security matters throughout the autonomous community.
The force began operations in February 1993, established through ministerial authorization in the previous year. This creation was part of Spain's effort to give autonomous communities greater control over their own security apparatus.
The officers display distinctive insignias from the Valencia Community on their uniforms, setting them apart from other Spanish police forces. These visual markers make the force immediately recognizable throughout the region.
The main headquarters is located in Valencia and coordinates emergency response and prevention efforts across the Valencia Community. Visitors should know this is an administrative and operational facility not open for tours or public access.
The force operates under a dual command structure, answering to both the national Interior Ministry and the Valencia Community government. This arrangement allows the region to manage its own security while maintaining national oversight.
