The Australian Federal Police, headquartered in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, is a federal law enforcement agency in Australia. It pursues a multi‑faceted approach that blends prevention, deterrence, partnerships and innovation to address evolving crime, with a strong emphasis on counter-terrorism and national security. Its work supports national security and public safety goals by collaborating with the Australian Government and other core agencies, and by building capacity through international cooperation on counter-terrorism, crime‑fighting, and related initiatives. As a global policing body, the AFP seeks to stay ahead in a rapidly changing criminal landscape and to address transnational crime through interagency collaboration and international relations. A notable development in 2026 was its participation in the Pacific Transnational Crime Summit in Fiji, reflecting ongoing regional engagement.
