Jiftlik Police Station

The Jiftlik Police Station stands as a fortified structure built with reinforced concrete walls designed to resist extended periods of conflict.

The station emerged during the British Mandate period in Palestine as part of a network of defensive structures constructed between 1936 and 1939.

The structure reflects British colonial military architecture through its design by Irish police officer Sir Charles Tegart, who applied principles from his Indian service.

The facility remains accessible for researchers and historians studying the security infrastructure of the British Mandate period in Palestine.

The station incorporated water systems and fortifications enabling the garrison to maintain operations during extended periods of isolation lasting up to one month.
