The defense of Palau is the responsibility of the United States, but local police matters are handled by the Palau Police, the national police force. Some of the sixteen states also had separate police departments during the 1980s and 1990s.

The Palau Bureau of Public Division of Marine Law Enforcement (DMLE)[2] is responsible for marine surveillance, maritime law enforcement, search and rescue in Palau's territorial waters and its 200 nm exclusive economic zone (EEZ).[1] The DMLE operated a Pacific-class patrol boat, the PSS President H.I. Remeliik which has now been replaced by the PSS Remeliik II. They also operate the PPS Kedam for use in maritime surveillance and fisheries control over Palau's EEZ. Its home port is Koror. The DMLE also operate three smaller 15-meter inshore patrol vessels, Euatel, Kabekl M'tal and Bul, used for surveillance of inshore and territorial waters.

The Remeliik was donated and is maintained by Australia, who also provide training for the crew. The other four vessels were donated by The Nippon Foundation and The Sasakawa Peace Foundation.[1] In addition, DMLE have a search and rescue Rigid Hulled Inflatable Boat (RHIB) and a twin 85 hp boat.[3] They are used only for inshore operations. The Bureau of Public Safety Director is Aloysius Alonz. Palau has provided police officers to the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands. Where, Palauan Police officer Bryson Ngiratumerang was contingent commander of the Palauan police serving as part of RAMSI's Participating Police Force (PPF).

The Palau Division of Maritime Law Enforcement has approximately 30 staff, 5 of which are paid for by The Nippon Foundation.[3]

Åklagare

Åklagare är en jurist som för det allmännas talan i brottmål. Under det initiala skedet i en brottsutredning ingår åklagaren i regel inte. Först sedan en eller flera misstänkta har identifierats och det är tid att formulera åtal deltar åklagaren. Ibland tar åklagaren ledning över brottsutredningen. Ibland håller sig åklagaren enbart informerad. I inkvisitoriska rättsordningar ingår åklagaren även som ledamot i domstolen och deltar alltså i prövningen av sin egen utrednin...
