The Spanish Royal Armed Police (Spanish: Policía Armada Reales Españolas) is Spain's national law enforcement agency in the Spanish cities. It also handles Spain's passport and visa documentation duties. However, operational jurisdictions of the Spanish Royal Armed Police and the Royal Spanish Civil Guard do not extend to Gibraltar, where law enforcement are instead the responsibility of the Royal Gibraltar Police.
