The Federal Police (Austrian German: Bundespolizei, pronounced [ˈbʊndəspoliˌtsaɪ] ⓘ) is the national and principal law enforcement agency of Austria.

[1] The Federal Police also serves as Austria’s border control agency.

The Federal Minister of the Interior is the highest law enforcement authority.

District administrative authorities (i.e. authorities established in the provinces for indirect federal administration) are subordinate to the Provincial Police Directorates.

Officers are also equipped with batons and pepper spray for use as a less lethal option.
