     The Police forces coordination stems from the increasingly deep-felt need to rationalise the structural and operational capacity of the individual police forces, optimising the use and distribution of the respective resources and integrating the organisation and implementation of the services through a common and systematic planning.

     Responsible for the above-mentioned tasks is the Office for Coordination and Planning of Police forces (Section 6-12 of the Act No. 121 of 1 April 1981) which by law has an important role to play in the implementation of the unbreakable tasks relative to the security police. This confirms the importance of coordination within the organisation of the public security administration.

     In this context, the coordination is guaranteed at institutional level by the Office for Coordination and Planning of Police Forces. This multi-agency office can certainly be seen as a Police forces "common house" both for its particular "modus operandi" in close and direct connection with the headquarters and directorates of the police forces, and its special position within the public security administration.
