The Brazilian Federal Police Department, in Portuguese ''Departamento de Polícia Federal'', is one of Brazil's three federal police forces. It is a completely separate force from Brazil's other two federal police forces, the Federal Highway Police and the Federal Railroad/Railway Police. From 1944 to 1967 it was called the Federal Department for Public Security (''Departamento Federal de Segurança Pública'').
