The Royal Bhutan Police (Dzongkha: རྒྱལ་གཞུང་འབྲུག་གི་འགག་སྡེ་; Wylie: ''rgyal-gzhung 'brug-gi 'gag-sde'') is responsible for maintaining law and order and prevention of crime in Bhutan. It was formed on 1 September 1965 with 555 personnel reassigned from the Royal Bhutan Army.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of Royal Bhutan Police )〕 It was then called the "Bhutan Frontier Guards." Its independent statutory basis was first codified with the Royal Bhutan Police Act of 1980. This framework was repealed and replaced in its entirety by the Royal Bhutan Police Act of 2009. ==Royal Bhutan Police== In addition to law enforcement, the mandate of the Royal Bhutan Police (शाही भुटानी प्रहरी )has grown since Act of 2009 to include managing prisons, facilitating youth development and rehabilitation, and disaster management.〔Police Act 2009: ¶¶ 124–125〕 The Act of 2009 provides the Royal Bhutan Police a substantive and procedural framework for jurisdictions, powers arrest (with and without warrant), investigation, prosecution, search and seizure, summoning witnesses, and regulating public assembly and public nuisance.〔Police Act 2009: ¶¶ 68–78, 90–113〕 It also codifies a framework for receiving complaints from the public.〔Police Act 2009: ¶¶ 86–89〕 The police are authorized to use force to "quell a disturbance of the peace, or to disperse an unlawful assembly, which either refused to disperse or shows a determination not to disperse," however the use of force must be limited as "as much as possible" using "the least deadly weapon which the circumstances permit."〔Police Act 2009: ¶¶ 79–80〕 Non-lethal measures required before lethal force may be used include water cannons, tear smoke, riot batons, and rubber pellets; shooting live ammunition into crowds is authorized only after firing warning shots into the air.〔Police Act 2009: ¶¶ 81–84〕 The Act of 2009 includes a code of conduct, duties, special duties during elections and disasters, and prohibition against engaging in political activities.〔Police Act 2009: ¶¶ 39–44〕 It also regulates firearms for both police and civilians, requiring registration of private firearms with the police.〔Police Act 2009: ¶¶ 63–67〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Royal Bhutan Police」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
