The Public Security Police Force[2] (Chinese: 治安警察局;[3] Portuguese: Corpo de Polícia de Segurança Pública de Macau,[3] abbreviated CPSP) is the non-criminal police department of Macau and a branch of the Macau Security Force.[4] Originally known at first as the Macau Police (Portuguese: Polícia de Macau), the force went through several name changes before taking on its current name. The PSP celebrates its foundation on 14 March 1691.[5]
Due to the one country, two systems perspective, it is organisationally separate from the mainland authorities. CPSPM is organisationally independent from the jurisdiction of the mainland's Public Security Ministry.
The force is currently headed by Ng Kam Wa since December 20, 2019.[6][7]
