Islandska policija je, preko Nacionalnog komesara, postavljnog od strane ministra, direktno podređena Ministarstvu pravde. Institut nacionalnog komesara (Ríkislögreglustjórinn na islandskom) je uveden 1997. godine, kada je i ukinuta Državna kriminalistička istražna policija i njene dužnosti prebačene na lokalne policijske odjele. |

The Icelandic Police is under the surpreme command of the Minister of Justice and Ecclesiastical affairs and the National Commissioner administers the police under autorization of the Minister. The office of the National Commissioner, or Ríkislögreglustjórinn in Icelandic, was put into service in 1997. The State Criminal Investigative Police was abolished and its duties transferred to the National Commissioner and local police departments. |

I ako islandski policajci ne nose vatreno oružje (samo "teleskop" palice i "pepper spraj) imaju redovitu obuku u gađanju iz vatrenog oružja. Izuzetak od pravila ne nošenja vatrenog oružja su policajci na Keflaviku, (međunarodnom aerodromu) te pitomci pri završetku policijske akademije. Standardno naoružanje čini Glock 17, mada ima policajaca koji naručuju neki drugi tip pištolja. U policijskim vozilima se, kao "dodatak" opremi nalaze i veliki pendreci, puna zaštitna oprema (riot gear) te "ježevi" (za zaustavljanje vozila). U slučajevima da je neophodna veća uvježbanost u upotrebi vatrenog oružja, Nacionalni komesar raspoređuje Jedinicu za specijalne operacije, koji su bolje uvježbani za upotrebu vatrenog oružja, od regularne policije. |

Although Icelandic policemen carry only extendable batons and MK-4 OC-spray (pepper spray) while on duty, they are trained in the use of firearms. The police at Keflavík International Airport are an exception, as police academy graduates carry firearms at all times, although temporarily employed officers do not. The standard sidearm is the Glock 17, but some officers purchase guns of different types. In addition to the above, they have in the police vehicles longer batons, full riot gear and spikestrips, for example. The Special Operations Unit of the National Commissioner deployed in situations requiring greater skill or firepower than the general police officers have available. |
