National Headquarters of the Israel Police, Law enforcement headquarters in Kiryat Menachem Begin, Jerusalem, Israel

The National Headquarters of the Israel Police is a five-story building in Kiryat Menachem Begin that serves as the central command center for the national police force. From here, operations are coordinated and all key administrative functions of the police service are managed.

The Israel Police was formed in March 1948 as a brigade of the Haganah, and its first headquarters sat in three buildings at Camp Yehoshua in Tel Aviv. After the Six-Day War the government decided to move the national headquarters to East Jerusalem; a four-story hospital under construction near Sheikh Jarrah was requisitioned, and in July 1969 some departments moved there from Jaffa. The current building, designed by architect Dan Eytan at the corner of Claude Gannot and Nablus Road, was inaugurated in 1973.

The compound is named for Menachem Begin, the prime minister under whom the decision was taken to strengthen Israeli presence at the site and build government offices beside it. The Ministry of Public Security, which oversees the Israel Police, stands in an adjacent building, and a police helipad sits next to the headquarters.

The location sits between Mount Scopus and western Jerusalem in a strategic position within the city. It is accessible by public transportation, and the building forms part of the broader urban infrastructure.

A helipad beside the building serves the police, and the site sits on the former line between East and West Jerusalem near Highway 1. A new detention centre for the Jerusalem district was approved for the compound in August 1999, but after a hotel petitioned the courts, it was never built.
